HASCO has extended its range of steel products with the
new chromium tool steel 1.2099HASCO.M. This represents
an advanced development of the well-known 1.2085.

This redefined steel is also resistant to corrosion thanks to
the high percentage of chromium and is used for tools and
moulds where abrasive materials or aggressive coolants
are employed.

Its special composition gives the new 1.2099HASCO.M
significantly improved machining quality in comparison to
identical machining processes and the conventional 1.2085.
Significantly faster machining times can now be realised
through longer tool life and increased machining volume.
Whilst the traditional 1.2085 results in reduced tool life and
comparably reduced machining volume.

Thanks to its relatively high base hardness of approximately
1080N/mm² and its homogenous structure, the steel remains
very dimensionally stable, even at high machining volumes.

Properties:
Rapid machinability, dimensional stability and reduced tool
wear make the new HASCO steel extremely suitable for use
in large moulds and volume machining.

Further advantages:
- Improved thermal conductivity. Thus enabling faster thermal
dissipation and shorter spray cycles.
- In comparison to the 1.2085, improved welding performance
and a reduced risk of fractures can be evidenced during machining.
- The pre-tempered quality renders an additional heat treatment
unnecessary.

HASCO can provide steel 1.2099HASCO.M with plate quality
