Punch and Die Maintenance: The Formula for Success and Productivity
Many fabricators have high-volume, active punches and die that must be properly maintained to function effectively. Regular maintenance increases the equipment’s capacity to deliver clean, sheared, straight-cut edges and ensures that the tooling will keep very tight dimensional part tolerances, […]
Characteristics and Functions of Shock Resistant Tool Steel
Shock-resistant steels are a subset of tool steels with extremely high impact toughness, poor abrasion resistance, and the ability to achieve reasonably high hardness (HRC 58/60). According to the AISI categorisation system, shock-resistant steels are classified as Group S. Chromium-tungsten, […]
