SPMX4N contributes to increased service life of dies and provides the wear resistance about four times that of conventional.

• Allowing nitrogen in steel at a high concentration in the metal powder state can generate homogeneous carbonitrides even to the material inside.
• Carbonitrides exhibit outstanding properties in wear and seizure resistance due to a small friction coefficient. In particular, wear resistance of more than four times that of our conventional materials has been achieved.
• Carbonitrides are dispersed more finely than carbides and improves toughness that contributes to the chipping resistance.

• SPMX4N contributes to improved productivity and cost reduction due to an improved dies service life.
• SPMX4N can shorten lead time and reduce dies cost by eliminating surface treatment.

• Dies, punches, slitting blades, etc.
• In particular, SPMX4N exhibits high performance in working aluminum alloys and stainless steels.
