FAQ
What grades do you recommend for punches, dies, and strippers?
It depends on the conditions, so it's hard to say. It also depends on the user.
EF10 for punches and KD20 for dies are used relatively often.
There are cases where ultrafine alloys are not suitable for wire processing such as die-cut blades and strippers (e.g., electrolytic corrosion), so please consult with us first.
Q&A in the same category in this question

To extend die life of high-speed presses
Lapping of the cutting edge is recommended.
Raising the surface roughness improves sliding and mitigates wear.
-
We are using carbide for press processing of stainless materials, but compared to SPCC, abrasion occurs quickly and parts must be replaced.
Stainless materials are hard and tough, which leads to greater abrasion and chipping of the tool.
We recommend using KX01, as it has superior toughness and resistance to heat, and is extremely hard. -
We are using fine grain and ultra fine grain carbide parts with wire cutting and EDM machines, but chipping occurs often during use.
Try our A10W.
This material maintains the transverse rupture strength of KD20, while having resistance to thermal cracking during EDM/WEDM improved.
