High-hardness, high-toughness steels

How can premature wear of punches and dies be reduced while preventing cracking or chipping? Choosing a steel with high hardness and toughness is essential to ensure stability and productivity, reducing production downtime and optimizing the cost per part produced.

This partnership gives you access to materials with proven quality in the market, including grades such as K110, K340 and K390 Microclean, among others, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding applications.

With a wide range of premium and standard grades available from stock, Universal Afir also provides services such as Heat Treatment, where our team’s expertise ensures optimised heat treatment cycles according to the specific application.
