MOLITE 4 is a high-carbon, high-vanadium, tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel that approaches the ultimate in wear resistance for high-speed steels in this group. The advantages in using this steel comprise (1) Very high wear resistance, (2) High red hardness, (3) Good toughnes and (4) Moderate grindability. Among its many uses are punches and dies for blanking and forming thin sheet, milling cutters, twist drills, reamers, forming rolls, cold-extrusion punches and draw dies. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-447. Producer or source: Columbia Tool Steel Company.
