CZ119
CZ119 stands proudly as the gold standard for machining, boasting a perfect 100% machining index. These alloys also excel in hot stamping, especially when the forged components undergo extensive post-forging machining. It’s the top choice for applications that demand minimal cold working, like knurling. With its remarkable ductility, this material becomes a prime candidate for crafting wires, rods, and sections.
