GENERAL CHARATERISTICS
ESKYLOS® 2344 EVO is a special high alloyed Chromium- Molybdenum-Vanadium Hot Work Tool steel designed for the manufacture of dies, moulds, punches and other components subjected to high working temperatures. ESKYLOS® 2344 EVO is designed for the most demanding high pressure Light Alloys (Al-Mg) die casting moulds. ESKYLOS® 2344 EVO is produced via Electro-Slag Remelting process ESR, with the aim to give special quasi-isostatic properties to the whole volume of the mould. Thanks to the optimized chemical analysis (P<0.0015%, S<0.003% and low secondary elements content), together with the Electro Slag Re-melting process, followed by special forging and specifically designed heat treatment procedures, ESKYLOS® 2344 EVO achieves all the requirements imposed by NADCA #207 specification ensuring an high level of material’s quality.
