 |
Why Choose Rhino-Die?
Rhino-Die is similar to a 4330 alloy. It is made to Clean Steel Production Technology. Rhino-Die provides excellent dimensional stability and is field proven in the following type dies; zinc, aluminum, plastic and rubber molds, and for forming all types of sheet metal. It will accept many forms of surface conditioning, including flame and induction hardening, carbide coating, PVD and nitriding.
Rhino-Die should be considered as a replacement for 4130, 4140, 4145, 4340, H-13, and P-20.
Rhino-Die is a pre-hardened, high performance die steel that comes to you ready to machine and put into service. It is simple and quick and it does the job.
