CASCADE is a precipitation-hardening steel which is very popular as a mold steel for injection molding of thermoplastics. It is also an excellent choice for many zinc die-casting dies because of its resistance to heat checking and wash. A further wide usage for Cascade is as a holding-block material for die-casting dies and molds for plastics when high strength is mandatory.
