Stamping and Cutting Tools

disco

The stamping quickly became a complement to the cold forming in the Automotive Industry. It allows the reduction of the structural parts of the vehicle and consequently the weight reduction of individual parts. This places high demands on the steel tool used. To work at the temperatures that these processes involve, the tool steel needs to have excellent thermal conductivity and high resistance to hot deformation, as well as high toughness and ductility. Hot stamping means a major advantage over traditional production methods.

When choosing the right steel tool this advantage will be maximized. With Uddeholm steels you can avoid common problems.
