General information about mould tooling alloys
Osprey® mould tooling alloy powders, include maraging steel, stainless steel and hot work tool steel powders. Manufactured by Inert Gas Atomization, using optimised process parameters and equipment designed for Additive Manufacturing, with the option to melt under vacuum for enhanced melt cleanness and low non-metallic inclusion counts.
Alloy powders designed specifically for additive manufacturing processes, including Laser and Electron – Beam Powder Bed Fusion, Binder Jet, Direct Energy Deposition and Laser Cladding. Suitable of applications including conformal cooled plastic mould tools and tire mould segments and sipes.
- Maraging steels have low carbon contents, that can be heat treated, to high and ultra-high hardness, without distortion
- Mold tooling stainless steel combines high mechanical strength, hardness and corrosion resistance
- Hot work tool steel suitable for operation at high temperature in die casting applications
