Materials & Coatings

Industrial applications often involve abrasive powders, high-density materials, and elevated compression forces. Proper material selection and surface protection are critical to extending tooling life and maintaining structural integrity under load.

Punch Material Options

  • S7 Tool Steel: Shock-resistant grade providing strength and toughness under high compression loads.
  • S7 ESR: Refined structure for improved durability and resistance to fatigue.
  • D2 Tool Steel: High carbon, high chromium tool steel offering strong wear resistance.
  • A2 Tool Steel: Balanced wear resistance and toughness for demanding applications.
  • D3 Tool Steel: Increased abrasion resistance for severe wear environments.
  • 440C Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant option for reactive or moisture-sensitive materials.
  • Carbide Components: Recommended for extreme abrasion and extended production cycles.

Tooling Coating Options

Surface treatments help reduce friction, protect against abrasive wear, and extend punch life in demanding industrial environments.

  • Hard Chrome: General-purpose coating that improves wear resistance and provides corrosion protection.
  • Chromium Nitride (CrN): Offers enhanced surface hardness with anti-stick performance for abrasive materials.
  • Titanium Nitride (TiN): High hardness coating designed for severe wear conditions.
  • Diamond-Like Coating (DLC): Wear-resistant coating that reduces friction and supports extended service life in high-load applications.

Tooling Options & Customization

Configure industrial tooling to match compression force requirements, tablet size, and material characteristics.
