High speed steels
Cold work tool steels
Hot work tool steels
Tools for hot forming processes require fracture resistance, hot wear resistance and resistance to thermal fatigue. Tempered 3% and 5% CrMoV steels with a hardness of approximately 35 to 55 HRC fulfil these requirements perfectly. Particularly highly stressed tool inserts are also manufactured from maraging steels of the type Fe-18% Ni-Co-Mo-Ti.
Plastic mould steels
The requirements for mold steels are more diverse than in any other manufacturing process. Wear resistance, especially when processing fibre-reinforced plastics, and in addition corrosion resistance, machinability, polishability, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties are among the most important criteria.
Additive Manufacturing Powder
Additive manufacturing processes offer freedom in design, short lead times and minimised tooling costs. The range of powders for additive manufacturing processes is constantly being expanded and improved to meet the increasing demands on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of printed parts in toolmaking, the aerospace industry and the automotive industry.
