The power of Toolox® 33 and the secret behind “blue chips” 🟦

Machining 65 tons of steel for a massive chain project sounds demanding, but Toolox® changes the game. Look for the “blue chips”, a sign that heat is being directed into the chips rather than the workpiece, helping to prevent heat distortion and protect your tools.

Material highlights:
✔️ High cutting speeds: The material supports high cutting speeds while maintaining tool life and process reliability.
✔️ Homogeneity: Low carbide content ensures stable, reliable production.

From flat plates to high-performance components, precision at scale. 🦾

288 chain links were machined from Toolox® 33 plates in thicknesses of 80, 90 and 110 mm, totaling an impressive 65 tons of material. Despite the size and scope of the project, the consistency of Toolox® 33 enabled high feed rates and outstanding insert performance throughout the process.

✔️ Toolox® is a highly homogeneous steel with low carbide content. This enables optimized machining parameters and stable production performance. The material supports high cutting speeds while maintaining tool life and process reliability.

Upgrading 20-meter chains for continuous casting equipment at SSAB Oxelösund. ⛓️

SSAB has taken a step forward by upgrading its mill equipment, switching from standard 25CrMo4 steel to Toolox® 33.

The previous chains already delivered an impressive 20-year lifespan. With Toolox® 33, the ambition is to go beyond that, raising the bar for durability and reliability.

This upgrade is not just about longevity. It’s about achieving exceptional fatigue strength and resistance to cracking, ensuring the chains perform under demanding conditions over time.

From 65 tons of flat plate to 288 chain links, this transformation showcases what’s possible with Toolox® 33.

The material you chose from Toolox® is engineered to push the limits of machinability, durability and performance in even the most demanding applications.

Toolox® 44 is a pre-hardened steel highly suitable for high-performance machine parts and tooling of all sizes and shapes. The steel’s cleanliness, low carbide content and vibration-dampening properties all work together to provide excellent machinability for the most demanding engineering and mold-and-die applications.
Hardness: 410-475 HBW

We’ve refined the alloy composition and developed Toolox® 46 with improved performance in hot-work tooling applications. It has a hardness of 430-490 HBW and the same easy machining properties as other Toolox® products.
