Resistance - Seizure
Resistance - Chipping
Resistance
PRF Series exhibits particularly excellent wear resistance by adopting ultrafine grained WC. Furthermore, it also excels in seizure resistance by adding low-friction to RF Series while retaining the original characteristics. It is suitable for applications which require wear resistance or strength, such as progressive dies and blanking punches.
