More performance in the machining of hardened steel for injection molds. In tool and mold making, the machining of hardened steels beyond 50 HRC is standard. It nevertheless remains a discipline for specialists, especially for manufacturers of precision tools.

Hardened and stainless steels and titanium – silicon-containing coatings are the answer to materials that are difficult to machine.

Precision tools with highly specific properties in ever smaller batch sizes and with shorter development cycles – the demands of the machining markets are high.
