In attached technical article Uddeholm’s Kenneth Åsvik, Business Development AM, et al. outlines the new options to reduce the cycle time in plastic injection molding by making tools and dies by additive manufacturing.
Choose the right die material for High Pressure Die Casting. In this article we will discuss what actions can be considered in the HPDC industry so the correct die steel is selected to solve the most costly problem in the supply chain. The focus will be on HPDC industry which is the main market for Uddeholm but the principles apply to all hot applications.
With Uddeholm Idun, the tool holder market is revolutionized, by offering a safe and reliable fast forward button to finished tool holders for indexable inserts. Uddeholm Idun is a pre-hardened and corrosion resistant steel grade, which makes the production a one-stop-shop where heat treatment and coatings will no longer be necessary.
In attached technical article our Application Manager for Hot Work materials present the result of a case study on the key properties needed in die material used for aluminum high pressure die casting.
Modern technologies are continuously creating new demands on the surface finish of moulded plastic parts. Even the smallest defects on a part will be rejected. For high-gloss surface demands, one should aim for a steel grade with good polishability. Uddeholm Tyrax® ESR is our new tool steel developed for applications with extreme demands on surface finish.
Uddeholm have introduced new steel grades for cutting tools and grinding kits for use within the food industry. Cleaner cuts, less friction, extended lifetime with less maintenance of the knives and parts are only some of the benefits. Tests carried out within production at meat processing companies support the results.
Over the last few years there has been an increasing development in the automotive industry, striving for better fuel efficiency, lower emission, better crash safety and longer range. From a tooling perspective this has raised the demand for high performance and reliable cold work tool steels that are easy to process and that secures a high and predictable productivity without unplanned stops.
At Uddeholm we believe in a process of constant improvement and development which is how we are now able to manufacture tool steel which has been pushed to new levels of toughness and performance never seen before. In a technical article written by our Product Manager for Hot Work, Richard Oliver, we present the benefits of tool steel Uddeholm Dievar, pushed to a new toughness of 25 Joules.
