Powder Metallurgy Tool Steels (PM)
The conventional tool steels have restrictions in certain application areas. The carbur morphology plays a significant role in indicating the convenient grades. Unfortunately, due to inner defects, segregations and limitation of total alloy content, ingot casted materials will never achieve a consistent, high performance. Accordingly, this directly causes especially material’s toughness, and the other mechanical properties.
At this point, By using PM-technology, total alloy content can be varied in a wide range. For your powder press tools „customized“ grades offer the best combination of hardness, wear resistance, toughness and machinability.
