• Stamping Dies (punching, blanking, embossing, coining, bending, and flanging.)
• Punches

• Bushings and guide pillars

Transmission parts in mechanisms of the presses – see Transmissions and Drive Systems Industry

• For high Hardness
• For high Wear resistance
• For high Fatigue strength
• For Plastic deformation resistance

• Significantly increasing the surface hardness, wear (abrasive and adhesive) resistance and fatigue life of the tools, improving their lifespan and performance.

• Improving the thermal fatigue resistance of the tools.

• Reducing the friction coefficient needed both for the tools and for the bushings and guide pillars.

• Increasing the corrosion resistance which is needed if the die sets are working in environments with moisture or corrosive substances.
  

Improving these parameters will save from downtime and maintenance costs.

• Hardness and depth values are recommended for the industry and exact values will depend on the nitriding process parameters.
