PASS Tool Variety

HWS

HWS tools are made of a secondary hardened cold work steel with superior toughness. This type of steel is especially suitable for dies.

Advantage for customer:

  • excellent cost in accordance to performance

H-PM®

H-PM® tools are produced with a steel made on a powder-metallurgical base with a high degree of purity.
This guarantees a segregational uniformed microstructure in the complete cross-section of the tool.

Advantage for customer:

  • excellent cost in accordance to performance
  • good stability for edges by increased toughness
  • high tool life-time due to the unformed microstructure
  • increased current hit-flex-capability; suitable as an excellent base for dies

X3-PM

X3-PM tools are made of an high-end powder-metallurgical steel with the best possible performance characteristics for punches in the punching technology due to the best possible degree of purity.
The segregational uniformed microstructure with high vanadium concentration in the complete crosssection of the punch guarantees best possible wear resistance regarding tool life-time.

Advantage for customer:

  • best efficiency by multiple increase of the punch hit count
  • best possible stability for cutting edges
  • extremely high abrasion resistance
  • utmost compressive strength

X8-PM

X8-PM tools are made of a high-end powder metallurgical steel with the best possible performance characteristics for dies in the punching technology caused by best possible degree of purity.
The high ductility of the segregational uniformed microstructure guarantees best possible fatigue limit. This kind of steel is especially suitable for dies with risk-breakage in regards to special contours.

Advantage for customer:

  • best possible absorption of hit-flex stress; prevents fatigue breakage.
  • high abrasion resistance
