UDDEHOLM STAVAX ESR
Uddeholm Stavax ESR is a premium stainless mould steel for small and
medium inserts and cores. Uddeholm Stavax ESR combines corrosion and
wear resistance with excellent polishability, good machinability and stability
in hardening.
Mould maintenance requirement is reduced by assuring that core and cavity
surfaces retain their original finish over extended operating periods. When
compared with non stainless mould steel, Uddeholm Stavax ESR offers
lower production costs by maintaining rust free cooling channels, assuring
consistent cooling and cycle time.
This classic stainless tool steel is the right choice when rust in production
is unacceptable and where requirements for good hygiene are high, as
within the medical industry, optical industry and for other high quality
transparent parts.
Uddeholm Stavax ESR is a part of the Uddeholm Stainless Concept
Applications
Uddeholm Stavax ESR is recommended for all
types of moulding tools and its special properties make it particularly suitable for moulds
with the following demands:
• Corrosion/staining resistance, i.e. for
moulding of corrosive materials, e.g. PVC,
acetates, and for moulds subjected to humid
working/storage conditions.
• Wear resistance, i.e. for moulding abrasive/
filled materials, including injection-moulded
thermosetting grades. Uddeholm Stavax ESR
is recommended for moulds with long
production runs, e.g. disposable cutlery and
containers.
• High surface finish, i.e. for the production
of optical parts, such as camera and sunglasses lenses, and for medical containers, e.g.
syringes, analysis phials.
