These materials offer exceptional hardness and superior resistance to wear, thus assuring a long service life for tools under continual stress. Their chemical composition has been optimised to maintain dimensional stability and tight tolerances, both critical characteristics for precise machining. What is more, their tenacity allows them to handle impacts and stress without failure.
Their excellent workability greatly facilitates the fabrication of complex tools, making them ideal for sectors like metalworking, mould and die fabrication and mechanical engineering.
