NIPPON KOSHUHA STEEL CO., LTD.

The KD11S is a new type of steel for cold-tool steel that has the same basic functions of the SKD11 and features remarkably improved machinability.

Features of KD11S

1.Cost reduction　●Rationalizes the manufacturing processes.　●Reduces the machining time
2.Thermal processing　●Unchanged thermal processing.　●Same-aged deterioration.
3.Mold life　●Satisfactory mold live.　●Improved mold quality.

Outstanding machinability

●Can prolong the service life of the tool and improve the machining efficiency.
●Beautiful finished cut surface.
●Capable of cutting after thermal processing.

Same thermal processing conditions as SKD11.

●Stack-thermal processing with the SKD11 is enabled. ●Same dimensional variation after thermal processing is the same as the SKD11. ●Aged-deterioration and surface treatment are equivalent to the SKD11.

Equivalent or superior mechanical characteristics

●Fatigue characteristics superior to the SKD11 ●Tenacity and wear-resistance superior to the SKD11
