Bohler-Uddeholm Corporation
Bohler-Uddeholm Corporation is a provider of special tooling steels, heat treatment and coat- ing services to the metalforming industry. Key tooling grades include Bohler K340 Isodur, the preferred 8 percent Cr tool steel to replace D2 when chipping is an issue, even in larger cross sections. When multiple refacing of tools is desired and high-vol- ume production a requirement, look to the powder metallurgical products we produce. Uddeholm Vanadis 4 Extra is the grade of choice when forming and blanking thicker, softer stainless and high strength steels where toughness is the major requirement. Looking for PM M4?Try our Bohler S693 Microclean. Need AISI A11 (10% vanadium) PM steel? We have Bohler K294 Microclean. And, when galling and pickup are the major issues with stainless steel, advanced high-strength steels and copper alloys, evalu- ate Uddeholm Vancron 40, a unique PM steel for superior adhesive wear resistance.
Thermotech, our thermal pro- cessing facility inToronto, Ontario, has heat treating, weld- ing and coating
capabilities. With a new 15 bar over- pressure furnace and new gas nitird- ing and tempering capabilities, we can process small or large forming and blanking dies. Using our trademarked welding rods, the facility has the abili- ty to thermally pre- heat, weld and postheat your tools.
Finally, with an entirely new coating line, we can provide the Duplex VarianticTM process that nitrides and PVD coats tools within the same cycle, providing better adhesion and a more tenacious surface protec- tion for the most
difficult applications. Consider our technical solutions to your toughest problems.
