Examples of how the right tool steel enhances your performance
Tool steel for plastic molds
Plastic mold injectors need to keep production cycles short and cost-effective which requires tool steels with excellent thermal conductivity. Mold makers therefore need to make sure that their finished product meets all the technical requirements. This is only possible with steels complying with the highest standards in terms of
- Machinability
- Polishability and texturing properties
- Through-hardenability
Hot work tool steels
Achieving good tool life is essential for maximizing the profit of any forge shop. An appropriate die material must be chosen that is both capable of meeting the estimated die life and able to withstand the forces of manufacturing. Among others, these factors are decisive:
- Tempering resistance
- Thermal shock resistance
- Well balanced hardness and tensile strength
