The KDA1S is a new type of
steel for die-casting that has the same basic functions of the KDA1 and
features superior durability and cost-reduction performance.
Features
of KDA1S
1.Superior heat-check resistance
●Hard to crack in comparison with the SKD61, and has a finer structure. ●Has
superior heat-check resistance equivalent to the KDA1 and offers
a longer service life. 2.Superior machinability after hardening and annealing. ●30%
or more higher machinability than the SKD61. ●Approximately 5
times as high as the KDA1. 3.Superior tenacity ●80% or more higher tenacity than the
SKD61 (in the T direction). ●Good tenacity equivalent to the KDA1. 4.Superior heat-softening resistance. ●Twice as high heat-softening
resistance as the SKD61 maintains high hardness for a long time.
