About

  • Designed for abrasive GF materials: Böhler tool steels are engineered to withstand the severe abrasive wear and mechanical loads of glass‑fiber reinforced plastics used in electrical components.

  • Böhler M333 ISOPLAST (ESR): Corrosion‑resistant stainless tool steel with good wear resistance, suitable for GF materials with flame retardants and humid operating conditions.

  • Böhler M340 ISOPLAST (ESR): Higher hardness and wear resistance than M333, ideal for high‑volume electrical connectors and housings.

  • Böhler K340 ISODUR: Excellent abrasive wear resistance and compressive strength for highly filled GF compounds and long production runs.

  • Böhler K390 MICROCLEAN (PM): Very high wear resistance due to PM technology, ensuring extended mould life and dimensional stability for abrasive GF materials.

  • Böhler K490 MICROCLEAN (PM): Extreme wear resistance for the most demanding GF applications, minimizing maintenance and maximizing tool life.

  • Böhler M390 MICROCLEAN (PM): Stainless PM tool steel combining very high wear resistance with corrosion resistance, suitable for highly abrasive GF plastics where surface quality and corrosion protection are critical.

  • Stable and precise mould performance: Clean PM microstructure, high toughness, and thermal stability support tight tolerances, reduced flash, and longer maintenance intervals.

  • Lower total cost per part: Reduced wear, less downtime, and stable processing result in predictable production and improved cost efficiency.
