New grades: PM 3 and PM 15
- PM 3 - great toughness
- Toughness approaching S7
- Wear resistance greater than M2
- Use for impact situations instead of S7, for
high toughness without giving up wear or
coatability
- PM 15 - great wear
- 50% - 100% longer wear life than PM 10
- Same hardness, heat treatment as PM 10
- Wear upgrade from PM 10, or replace FerroTiC, or
use where carbide is too brittle

Pivot PM 1O steel punches and dies take advantage of the unique
properties of this Crucible Particle Metallurgy steel. It is
designed with a tough, air hardening base analysis with added
high carbon and vanadium. This provides PM 1O with a combination
of exceptionally good wear resistance, toughness and strength
for cold and warm work applications.
Standard items available in Pivot Catalog #4000.
