In no other forming manufacturing process are the requirements for tool steels as varied as in plastics processing. In addition to corrosion or wear stresses, especially in the processing of fiber-reinforced plastics, aesthetic aspects are also among the most important decision criteria. Good machinability and easy heat treatment is a matter of course. Voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl offers a wide range of materials for all applications in plastics processing, from conventionally manufactured tool steels for standard applications to electrical slag-remelted materials for demanding applications to powder metallurgically produced high-performance tool steels for the highest league in tool making.
