Tablet Compression Tool Steel Type
O1 Steel
O1 Steel is a versatile, oil-hardened, non-shrinking steel known for its exceptional hardenability. It finds widespread application in the manufacturing of blanking and stamping punches.
S7 Steel
S7 Steel is a tool steel grade renowned for its outstanding impact resistance and possesses the highest level of hardenability among shock-resisting tool steel grades. This quality makes it a preferred choice for tablet compression punches due to its ability to withstand heavy loads.
D2 Steel
D2 Steel is categorized as High Carbon High Chromium (H.C.H.C.) Steel, renowned for its excellent wear resistance and abrasion resistance properties. Consequently, it is typically employed in abrasive tablet compression applications.
D3 Steel
D3 Steel falls under the category of High Carbon High Chromium (H.C.H.C.) Steel and is classified as Hot Die Steel. Its remarkable wear resistance, attributed to the high percentage of chromium in its composition, makes it the top choice for tableting dies.
408 Tool Steel
408 Steel, classified as a ferritic stainless steel, exhibits commendable mechanical properties while also providing exceptional corrosion resistance, effectively preventing rust and corrosion cracking.
S1 Steel
S1 Steel, categorized as a cold work steel, incorporates tungsten in its composition, enhancing its toughness and impact resistance, and allowing it to attain high levels of hardness.
A2 Steel
A2 Steel belongs to the cold work steel category and is characterized as an airhardening steel. It offers both high hardness and excellent dimensional stability, contributing to superior wear resistance on average.
440C Steel
440C Steel falls within the stainless steel category and is distinguished by its high carbon and chromium content. It boasts excellent hardenability, with the potential to achieve a maximum hardness of 60 HRC. This steel type is commonly employed in the production of small tips for multi-tip tooling applications.
SP10 Steel
SP10 Steel is primarily an oil-hardening grade steel, developed to enhance resistance to shock. It possesses a favorable elemental combination of manganese, silicon, and molybdenum.
K340 Steel
K340 Steel is a premium cold work steel celebrated for its high yield strength and commendable toughness properties. It is well-suited to combat chipping and premature wear issues while also demonstrating excellent compressive strength.
