Uddeholm Carmo

Uddeholm Carmo is a prehardened medium alloyed tool steel suitable for short and medium run tooling in applications where a very high chipping resistance is required. The property profile makes Uddeholm Carmo a robust cold work tool steel for heavy duty blanking and forming. It is delivered prehardened to 240-270 HB.

• Short tool making lead times
• Safe and consistent production
• Cost efficient tool making/production
• The prehardened delivery condition makes flame- , induction or laser hardening easier
• High reliability for tools in severe cold work applications where there is a high risk of chipping
• Reduced maintenance and downtime costs combined with increased productivity due to the reduced likelihood of premature failures
• Good weldability and the availability of welding electrodes with the same chemical composition as Uddeholm Carmo
