For complex material requirements
Whether as forging die, tool holder or industrial knife, as extrusion die or plastic or glass mould, as ejector pin or saw blade - the list of applications for modern tool steels is long. The requirement profile of modern tool steels is just as diverse.
BGH grades combine properties such as wear resistance, mirror polishability, resistance to heat and thermal shock, and of course strength and toughness to suit your particular application.
Through optimised metallurgy, we achieve the best degrees of purity and homogeneous microstructures, which are decisive for a long service life of your tools.

Eigenschaften
BGH 1.2316 mod. ist ein korrosionsbeständiger, martensitischer Formenstahl mit hoher Zähigkeit, guter Zerspanbarkeit und guter Polierbarkeit.
Im Vergleich zur DIN wurde die Analyse in Bezug auf die karbidbildenden Elemente soweit optimiert, dass eine wesentlich homogenere und feinere Verteilung der Karbide entsteht. Damit konnte sowohl die Zähigkeit, als auch die Korrosionsbeständigkeit verbessert werden.
Lieferzustand
- vergütet (+QT), 280 - 325 HBW
Einsatzgebiet
BGH 1.2316 mod. wird insbesondere für hochbeanspruchte Werkzeuge und Formen zur Verarbeitung korrosiv wirkender Medien eingesetzt.
Anwendungsbeispiele
- Kunststoffformen
- Blasformen
- Extruder
- Komponenten für die Lebensmittelindustrie
