redi-die™ Pre-Hardened, High Performance Die Steel

Redi-Die is a modern tool and die steel (similar to a 4330 alloy), made to Clean Steel Production Technology. It provides excellent dimensional stability and has been field proven for zinc and aluminum die work, plastic and rubber molds, and for forming all types of sheet metal. It will accept many forms of surface conditioning, including flame and induction localized hardening, carbide coating, PVD and Nitriding.

Redi-Die should be considered to replace 4130, 4140, 4145, 4340, H-13, P-20 and even costlier oil and air hardening tool steels.
