K294 MICROCLEAN
From Spydiewiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchBöhler-Uddeholm’s K294 MICROCLEAN tool steel is manufactured in Sweden. Using their third-generation powder metallurgy technology, K294 is essentially an expression of A11 tool steel enhanced by the benefits of the powder metallurgy process. Also comprable to Crucible Industries' CPM 10V®, it is most often used in demanding cold-work tooling applications requiring extreme wear resistance and compressive strength. As a blade material, its wear resistance translates into outstanding edge retention, especially when used to cut abrasive materials.
