ASSAB ASP 23 Datasheet

General
ASB 23 is a chromium-molybdenum-tungsten-vanadium alloyed high speed steel which is characterized by:

• High wear resistance (abrasive profile)

• High compressive strength

• Very good through-hardening properties

• Good toughness

• Very good dimensional stability during heat treatment

• Very good temper resistance

Applications
ASP 23 is especially suitable for blanking and forming of thinner work materials where a mixed (abrasive-adhesive) or abrasive type of wear is encountered and where the risk for plastic deformation of the working surfaces of the tool is high.

Typical Applications

• Blanking of medium to high carbon steel

• Blanking of harder materials such as hardened or cold-rolled strip steel

• Cutting tools, e.g., gear cutting tools, broaches, taps

• Plastics mould tooling subjected to abrasive wear

• Plastics processing parts, e.g. feed screws, barrel liners, nozzles, screw tips, non-return check ring valves, pellitizer blades, granulator knives

• Semiconductor IC mould tooling, e.g., cavity bar, cull block
