PORCERAX II – THE VENTILATION STEEL FOR MOULD CONSTRUCTION
In 1994, Porcerax II attained the Japanese Industry Board Award (MITI). This is one of Japanese industry’s most prestigious awards. In view of its uniform microporosity, which enables air and gas to dissipate, this steel has been found to be the ideal steel for the Rolinx process.
Since Porcerax II has already established itself very well in the USA, J. & F. Krüth GmbH and International Mold Steel have established the firm Krüth IMS GmbH to provide the European market with this ventilation steel as well.
The biggest advantages of Porcerax II
- Improving product quality. Partly due to the permeability of Porcerax II, ventilation problems, flux lines, gas ignition and insufficient spray filling and the consequent feathering, all belong to the past.
- Reduced energy use. By the dissipation of air and gas, counter-pressure in the equipment is so minimised that spray pressure can be decreased and its energy consumption is appreciably reduced.
- Reduced wastage. The precision of the mould and the elimination of material burn lead to reduced spray material burn.
- Average diameter of pores: Materials are available with 3 µ, 7 µ and 20 µ for various applications.
- Tensile strength: about 75 % that of a standard moulding steel of approximately 750 N/mm².
- Hardness: In delivery condition, about 38 HRC, hardened under controlled vacuum conditions = 52 – 54 HRC.
- Density: ca. 6.0 – 6.2 kg/dm²
- Workability of Porcerax II: Porcerax II can be worked by means of erosion, polishing, cutting and grinding.
