Introduction

In order to come out on top against competitors, tool designers must meet constantly increasing demands. Tools, and in particular active parts, must be sophisticated, powerful and of the highest quality. This is only possible using high quality carbide. The prerequisite for this is a permanently homogeneous and consistent carbide structure which guarantees long tool life and process stability. Specifically developed for the tool and die industry, our carbide grades are extremely resistant to both wear and corrosion. Moreover, they are specifically adapted to each individual application.

The tool and die industry places carbides under extreme strain. Our carbide grades are tailored to match the many different applications in this sector. The wide range of grades we offer shows the technological edge that, in combination with our long-standing experience in powder metallurgy, guarantees maximum quality and consistency. Our technological edge is the basis for your success.

An ever increasing number of products is manufactured using serial production, particularly when it comes to stamping, bending and forming. This requires maximum tool life of the active components combined with consistent results. The extremely corrosion-resistant carbide grades of our patented CF series are also resistant to rupture and wear, which ensures process security during the machining of complex and delicate tooling geometries. Applications range from thin foil to the fine cutting of ribbon with a thickness of several millimetres.
