The electronics industry uses PCB (Printed Curcuit boards) production, SMT (Surface Mount Technology) assembly, soldering, and moulding processes with materials like copper laminates, solder alloys, and engineering plastics. Precision tooling enables reliable devices for consumer, automotive, industrial, and medical applications.
The electronics industry encompasses the design, manufacturing, and assembly of electronic devices and components used in consumer, industrial, automotive, and communication systems. Key processes include PCB fabrication (Printed Curcuit Boards), SMT (Surface Mount Technology) placement, wave and reflow soldering, encapsulation, wire bonding, micro‑machining, and testing. Materials range from copper‑clad laminates, conductive inks, solder alloys, and die‑attach materials to engineering plastics, thermal interface materials, and semiconductor substrates such as silicon or gallium-based compounds. Tooling comprises stencil masks, pick‑and‑place nozzles, precision cutting tools, moulding dies for connectors and housings, test fixtures, reflow ovens, and automated optical inspection systems. High cleanliness, thermal management, and dimensional accuracy are essential throughout production. Applications include smartphones, sensors, control units, power electronics, medical devices, embedded systems, and high‑reliability industrial electronics. The industry prioritizes miniaturization, material efficiency, automated assembly, and stable process capability to meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.
BÖHLER M310 ISOPLAST is a corrosion-resistant, martensitic chromium steel which, through electroslag remelting and optimization of the chemical composition, has a good homogeneity and a balanced hardness-toughness-corrosion resistance ratio.
Read MoreBÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN is a corrosion-resistant, martensitic chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy design, this steel has very high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. In addition, BÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN is approved for food and beverage contact.
Read MoreBÖHLER N695 is a corrosion-resistant, martensitic chromium steel with a high carbon content and added molybdenum.
Read MoreUddeholm Mirrax 40 is a prehardened remelted stainless tool steel, supplied at 40 HRC. Uddeholm Mirrax 40 is produced using the electroslag remelting (ESR) process – an additional step in the steelmaking process that ensures very clean steel. Consequently, Uddeholm Mirrax 40 is capable of being polished to a very high surface finish. In addition, the combination of high hardness with high toughness results in a mould with good resistance to indentations and minimize the risk of unexpected failures, leading to a safer mould and a prolonged tool life. Benefits Lower production costs Fast tool making Excellent surface finish possible Less maintenance work Safe production
Read MoreUddeholm Tyrax ESR combines best in class toughness, corrosion and wear resistance. This grade was developed for molding of high performance plastics often filled with glass fiber reinforcements and additives like flame retardants. This matrix- based microstructure is designed to achieve a high-gloss surface by only a few polishing steps, dramatically reducing the tool lead time and enabling production of top quality plastic parts. Uddeholm Tyrax ESR can achieve a high hardness (up to 58 HRC) and is a suitable upgrade from AISI 420 ESR, AISI S7 and AISI 440C. Benefits good dimensional stability at heat treatment and in service even microstructure and small grain size good hardenability Uddeholm Tyrax is also available for Additive Manufacturing, powder for processing Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD).
