  • 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.

  • Cold work tool steels

    Cold work steels are mainly used in cold forming tools. Hardness, wear resistance, toughness, compressive strength and fatigue strength are achieved by alloying with Carbon and Chromium, Tungsten, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Manganese. Hardness values of 50 to over 64 HRC are achieved by hardening and tempering the tool components.

  • Corrosion resistant steels

    Corrosion resistance is achieved by a chromium content of over 10.5 % by a maximum Carbon content of 1.2 % and increases with higher Chromium and Molybdenium contents. Balanced alloying technology results in different property profiles and austenitic, ferritic, semi-martensitic, martensitic or ferritic-austenitic microstructures. Austenitic steels are generally not magnetisable.

  • Engineering steels

    Engineering steels are used for a variety of applications throughout the mechanical engineering industry. These include quenched and tempered steels, nitriding steels and high-strength, maraging steels for lightweight construction, as well as case-hardening steels for gear manufacturing and highly stressed plastic moulds.

  • High speed steels

    Cutting tools made of High-Speed Steel achieve high hot hardness, wear resistance and fracture resistance at a hardness of over 60 to 67 HRC through hardening and tempering. The main alloying elements are Carbon, Tungsten, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Cobalt. High contents of carbide-forming elements lead to the formation of wear-resistant carbides in the microstructure.

  • 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.

  • Ni-Base alloys

    Nickel-based alloys are used as high-temperature and chemically resistant materials. The chemical resistance is primarily determined by the alloying elements Chromium, Molybdenum and Tungsten. Maximum thermal resistance can be achieved by precipitation hardening with Aluminium, Niobium and Titanium.

  • Plastic mold steels

    The requirements for mould 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.

  • Titanium and titanium alloys

    Pure titanium materials and titanium alloys are characterized by biocompatibility, high resistance to chemicals and high specific strength. The range of applications for these materials is very broad, particularly in aerospace and motor sports, in the watch, sporting goods and jewelry industries, in the food industry, in chemical process engineering and in medical technology.
