Mirror-polishable plastic mold steel, pre-hardened to 40 HRC. The vacuum remelting process ensures the highest purity of this steel. It is weldable with the same alloy, and subsequent post-weld heat treatment results in a homogeneous microstructure with uniform hardness without a heat-affected zone.
NAK80 is used for manufacturing plastic molds with large cross-sections and very high requirements for polishing. It has proven particularly effective in molds for headlights, bumpers, dashboards, and generally molds for visually demanding parts. NAK80 is suitable for thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics. Fiber-reinforced plastics usually require a PVD coating.
NAK80 is a trademark product of the Japanese manufacturer Daido Steel. Gebr. Recknagel distributes NAK80 as the exclusive stockholding sales representative for Central Europe.
