Description: NAK80 is a precipitation or age-hardened mold steel with a uniform through hardness of approximately 40 HRc. It is super clean, Vacuum-Arc Remelted steel with uniform grain structure, uniform hardness, and excellent dimensional stability. Unique Characteristics: - Super clean, Vacuum-Arc Remelt manufacturing process.
- 40 HRc hardness.
- Age-hardened for uniformity of hardness throughout, even in heavy sections.
- When welded, NAK leaves no witness lines after re-aging.
- Uniform grain structure with no pin holes, inclusions or hard spots.
- Machines up to 20% faster than 30 HRc P20 mold steels.
- Never needs stress relieving, even after heavy machining.
- Polishes to a superior No. 1 finish, even over welded areas.
Applications: - Clear lens molds
- Extremely critical diamond finish applications
- Molds requiring special EDM finish
