MoldMAX XL Copper-Nickel-Tin Mold Alloy
MoldMAX XL is a high-strength copper-nickel-tin (Cu-Ni-Sn) mold alloy that, according to Materion, is about as hard as AISI P-20 tool steel while conducting heat two to three times better.
MoldMAX XL properties
Typical values from Materion's comparison table (the same table lists P-20 tool steel at Rockwell hardness 30 and 17 BTU/ft·hr·°F; the table does not state the Rockwell scale). Confirm against the datasheet before design.
