    The 'PLUS' in terms of Performance

    Our customers have been working for decades with our proven and fully fledged corrosion resistant CF (corrosion-free) carbide grades, which were specifically developed for the tool and die industry.

     

    To ensure that this will continue in the future, we have provided our latest developments with a PLUS in terms of performance.

     

    You can benefit right away from even better product characteristics:

    • High process reliability with optimal cutting edge stability thanks to higher KIC values while maintaining the same hardness
    • Strong corrosion protection and reduced speed of corrosion
    • Stable processes including delicate active parts thanks to enhanced transverse rupture strength and improved tensile strength

    Application Range

    Sectors, applications:

    • Automotive and aircraft construction
    • Construction and furniture industry
    • Electric and electronic industry
    • White good producers
    • Tool and die construction

     

    Particularly suitable for the following materials:

    • Steels
    • Non-ferrous metals
    • Plastics
    • Composite materials

     

    Thanks to our decades of experience in the development of carbide grades we are able to cover applications ranging from thin foil to the fine cutting of ribbon with a thickness of several millimetres.

    Optimisation of Applications

    • Hot Forming

      Tool improvement is the basis for maximum economy in the application process.

      CERATIZIT offers a systematic approach for the optimisation of the overall system.

      This includes both an application-specific grade selection and the possibility of optimising the machining strategy of the production process in order to ensure sustainable development for other applications.

    Grades

    What our carbides are used for

    Tool and die construction places carbides under extreme stress. Our carbide grades are tailored to match the many different applications. The wide range of grades we offer confirms the technological lead that, in combination with our long-standing experience in powder metallurgy, guarantees maximum quality and consistency. Our technological lead is the basis for your success.

     

    Corrosion-resistant grades

    CF grades exhibit excellent corrosion resistance combined with the mechanical and physical properties required in the tool and die industry.

     

    The following table offers a good basis for choosing the right grade. Further influencing factors such as the composition of the strip material, cutting gap, lubrication, geometry of the active parts and the structure of the tools should be taken into account in order to select the optimal grade.
