LC 200 N

Nitrogen alloyed tool steel

 

Description

LC 200 N is a high nitrogen alloyed tool steel which exhibits superior corrosion resistance combined with high toughness even at a hardness up to 60 HRc. LC 200 N combines the PESR- (Pressurized Electric Slag Remelting) process with a smart forging technology. This
process route offers an increase in cleanliness and a homogeneous microstructure. Advantages of this steel is its excellent machinability and polishability as well as high dimensional stability after heat treatment. LC 200 N can therefore be a solution for tools facing high static and dynamical load under a high corrosive environment at higher temperatures.

Applications

  • Food industry, blades, portioning and filling units
  • Pump components, spindles, extrusion- and proportioning units for chemical and pharmaceutical industry
  • Tablet tooling
  • Mirror-polished dies for plastics industry
  • Shredder knives, granulations and pelletizers for recycling industry
