HBD CX Tool Steel
Stainless Steel for Corrosion-Resistant Tools
HBD CX tool steel, also known as CORRAX or 12Cr9Ni, is used in plastic manufacturing molds for its excellent corrosion resistance and good hardness. It offers better corrosion resistance than 18Ni300, making it ideal for mold inserts and waterway components.
