  • 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.

  • Creep Resistant Steels

    High-temperature and creep-resistant steels are used at temperatures up to 650 °C [1202.0°F], are mainly alloyed with Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Tungsten and Niobium and exhibit high resistance to high-temperature corrosion. Stable precipitations of the alloying elements results in high creep-resistance. The use application of this steel group is closely linked to the development of energy technology.

  • 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-based 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.
