ESKYLOS HIMO
NADCA GRADE C
TOP QUALITY ESR STEEL FOR LIGHT ALLOYS DIE CASTING APPLICATIONS
GENERAL CHARATERISTICS
ESKYLOS® HiMo is the new version of the high alloyed Chromium-Molybdenum-Vanadium Hot Work Tool steels family. It was developed by Lucchini RS starting from the experienced ESKYLOS® 2344 grade, increasing the Molybdenum (Mo) content and adding special micro-alloying elements such as Tungsten (W).
ESKYLOS® HiMo is designed for the most demanding high pressure Light Alloys (Al-Mg) die casting dies, ESKYLOS® HiMo fully meets NADCA #207 concerning the annealed microstructure, banding segregation and Impact capability testing.
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®
HiMo is able to achieve extremely high performances.
