Things to Consider When Choosing a Tool Steel Grade
Manufacturing industries that are involved in making different types of cutting tools, hand tools, machine dies, and others typically maximise the properties of tool steels. Tool steels are carbon alloy steels that are known for their hardness, abrasion resistance, and […]
The Principles in Achieving Successful Punching
The whole process of punching may be straightforward. However, a successful punching can be difficult to achieve if some of the required elements are not optimised for the said process. And so, fabricators that maximise punching should know the basic […]
Punch and Die Materials and Tooling Solutions
Punching has been very helpful in providing holes in sheet materials. After all, this forming process utilises a punch press that forces the punch through the workpiece by creating a hole. Some examples of sheet materials that can undergo the […]
Hole Making Operations in CNC Machining
Machining is a type of material removal process that creates specific products on a part by removing and cutting away any unwanted material from the workpiece. This process is typically done and performed by computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines […]
An Overview about Tool Steel and Its Applications
Steel is commonly used in a wide variety of applications that require framework strengthening and structural support. Roads, buildings, bridges, airports, and other infrastructures are often built with steel because of its reliable strength and fracture resistance. Aside from the […]
