voestalpine Böhler & Uddeholm Tool Steels – Proven Materials for Performance, Productivity, and Cost Efficiency
Longer mould life: High‑quality tool steels with excellent wear and corrosion resistance reduce maintenance, repairs, and tool replacement costs.
Stable and reliable processing: Consistent material properties ensure predictable mould performance and improved part quality, even with demanding or filled plastics.
Optimized for conformal cooling: Selected grades support advanced cooling designs, enabling shorter cycle times and higher machine utilization.
Lower production costs: Reduced scrap, less downtime, and lower energy consumption lead to a lower cost per part.
Value for toolmakers and moulders: Faster time‑to‑market, higher productivity, and long‑term cost savings across the entire mould lifecycle.
Böhler tool steels for glass‑fiber reinforced plastics offer high abrasive wear resistance, sufficient toughness, and thermal stability, ensuring dimensional accuracy and extended mould life under GF‑induced load conditions.
