Bohler High Performance Metals Pvt. Ltd. Belapur, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra

high speed steels are used for machine tools such as drills, taps, hobs and broaching tools and in some cold forming applications. The properties required here are wear resistance, hot hardness and toughness which prevent breakage of cutting edges. This guarantees high tool life and low maintenance, and ensures a reproducible production process. Our high performance powder metallurgical high speed steels are a specialty. They are the mainstay in this demanding market segment.

Pressures die casting and extrusion, the ultimate test of a hot work tool steel. Only very special steels are suited to these applications. The particular properties of BÖHLER hot work tool steels are specifically trimmed to their use at high temperatures. The cleanliness of the steel is a deciding factor for a long tool life and for resistance to heat checking. Typical applications for hot work tool steels are: pressure dies casting, hot extrusion, open die forging, and plastic processing.

This guarantees high tool life and low maintenance, and ensures a reproducible production process. Our high performance powder metallurgical high speed steels are a specialty. They are the mainstay in this demanding market segment. The characteristic properties of all high speed steel grades include:High working hardness, Strength to prevent breakage on the cutting edge.

cold work tool steels are used for cutting and pressing tools, for dies and knives, for stamping and drawing tools, hobs, thread rolling tools and in many other applications due to their typical properties – high hardness, good toughness and compressive strength and high wear resistance. High availability, cost efficiency and a long tool life are the most important factors in choosing a material.
