Zircox-M

Zircox-M is an innovative compound. The presence of a specific dopant agent confers to manufacture a controlled microstructure and high resistance to thermalical shock.
Its extreme strength, excellent surface finish and chemical product inertness are all factors that reduce the level of impact of the die and improve wire quality.
Zircox-M is your essential component for hot extrusion and wire drawing equipment.
