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:
Application Range
Sectors, applications:
Particularly suitable for the following 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
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.
