MoldMAX HH

MoldMAX HH (high-hard) is a high-strength beryllium copper mold alloy, made by Materion Brush Performance Alloys, for plastics molding applications.

This alloy has a hardness and strength comparable with standard tool steels but its thermal conductivity is at four to six times higher.

MoldMAX HH is used for injection mold cores and cavities and blow mold pinch-offs.  Its high hardness provides durability in applications where other high conductivity copper alloys fail.  The alloy also resists galling against other mold alloys, including itself.

MoldMAX XL

Materion’s MoldMAX XL Alloy is a high strength copper mold alloy with good thermal conductivity. The alloy contains no beryllium and is available in sections as large as 12″ thick. The alloy’s hardness is comparable with AISI P-20 tool steel, but its thermal conductivity is two to three times higher.  MoldMAX XL Alloy typically machines faster than tool steels, and with appropriate machine tools, metal removal rates several times higher can be obtained.

MoldMAX LH

Materion’s MoldMAX LH (Low Hard) alloy is a premium copper mold alloy that provides hardness and strength comparable with standard AISI P-20 tool steel and a thermal conductivity five-times higher. MoldMAX LH alloy is used for injection mold cores and cavities where moderate hardness and high toughness and conductivity are required.

MoldMAX V

Materion’s MoldMAX V (MMV) alloy is a high conductivity, moderately high strength, copper nickel silicon chromium alloy.

PROtherm

Materion’s PROtherm alloy is a high conductivity copper mold alloy with good strength. The alloy provides excellent toughness, and the highest conductivity of any alloy with tensile strength in excess of 100,000 psi.
