CarTech® Micro-Melt® A11-LVC Tool Steel
Many of the benefits realized in the use of CarTech Micro-Melt powder metals, such as CarTech Micro-Melt A11-LVC alloy, are a direct result of the refined microstructure (smaller, more uniformly distributed carbide particles and a finer grain size) and the lack of segregation in the powder metallurgy product. These advantages include ease of grinding, improved response to heat treatment, greater wear resistance, and increased toughness of the finished tool.
CarTech Micro-Melt A11-LVC Tool Steel is equivalent in hardness, wear resistance and heat treating response to CPM 9V* alloy.
