An alloy of Ni-Cr-Mo offered in a wide range of heat treated conditions for versatile service in the forging industry.

FX Temper 2
The most popular, FX Temper 2 (38-42 HRC) is a remarkably strong die steel with balanced wear and fracture toughness characteristics.

FX Temper 3
The more ductile, FX Temper 3 (33-37 HRC) is for die blocks, rams, shafts, die holders, v-guides, sow blocks and other general industrial uses favoring fracture toughness over abrasion demands.

FX Temper 1 and FX Temper H
Higher hardness FX Temper 1 (43-46 HRC) or FX Temper H (47-50 HRC) is for applications where higher die temperatures and cavity pressures, or wear-prone components demand more abrasion resistance.

The balanced chemistry of FX-XTRA offers a wide range of mechanical properties suitable for a variety of industrial applications. A. Finkl & Sons Co. Sales and Technical personnel are available to help you achieve your performance goals.

Machinability
Machinability at all hardness levels is enhanced through patented micro-alloying additions, but where maximum machinability is desired, a fully annealed condition (approximately 229 BHN) is available.
