    Our products at a glance / An overview of our products

      A voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl metal cylindrical gear hob with helical cutting teeth and shafts on both ends, used for manufacturing gears, isolated on a white background.

      High speed steels

      Cutting tools made of High-Speed Steel achieve high hot hardness, wear resistance and fracture resistance at a hardness of over 60 to 67 HRC through hardening and tempering. The main alloying elements are Carbon, Tungsten, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Cobalt. High contents of carbide-forming elements lead to the formation of wear-resistant carbides in the microstructure.

      Cold work tool steels

      Cold work steels are mainly used in cold forming tools. Hardness, wear resistance, toughness, compressive strength and fatigue strength are achieved by alloying with Carbon and Chromium, Tungsten, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Manganese. Hardness values of 50 to over 64 HRC are achieved by hardening and tempering the tool components.

      Hot work tool steels

      Tools for hot forming processes require fracture resistance, hot wear resistance and resistance to thermal fatigue. Tempered 3% and 5% CrMoV steels with a hardness of approximately 35 to 55 HRC fulfil these requirements perfectly. Particularly highly stressed tool inserts are also manufactured from maraging steels of the type Fe-18% Ni-Co-Mo-Ti.

      A round, metallic extrusion die with a rectangular opening, from voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl, used in manufacturing to shape materials like aluminum by forcing them through the die’s shaped aperture.

      Plastic mould steels

      The requirements for mould steels are more diverse than in any other manufacturing process. Wear resistance, especially when processing fibre-reinforced plastics, and in addition corrosion resistance, machinability, polishability, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties are among the most important criteria.

      Ni-Base alloys

      Nickel-based alloys are used as high-temperature and chemically resistant materials. The chemical resistance is primarily determined by the alloying elements Chromium, Molybdenum and Tungsten. Maximum thermal resistance can be achieved by precipitation hardening with Aluminium, Niobium and Titanium.

      Additive Manufacturing Powder

      Additive manufacturing processes offer freedom in design, short lead times and minimised tooling costs. The range of powders for additive manufacturing processes is constantly being expanded and improved to meet the increasing demands on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of printed parts in toolmaking, the aerospace industry and the automotive industry.
