More than 400 years ago, we forged our own tools using the same basic technique still used today. This is where our story began. What was once a matter of human power behind a hammer strike is now one of ultimate precision and leading-edge technology.
Our journey is marked by knowledge, experience, drive, and desire, resulting from years of research and development. Our commitment to finding customized opportunities and offering complete solutions for every challenge sets us apart. BÖHLER and Uddeholm make tool steels with high purity, high toughness, and excellent heat resistance for forging. This combination means longer tool life and lower overall costs.
BÖHLER and Uddeholm hot work steels are designed for forging applications. These steels are tailored to withstand high temperatures and demanding conditions. The degree of purity and homogeneity of the steels is crucial for a long service life of the tools. Innovative melting processes, such as the protective-gas ESR process or vacuum arc remelting, minimize non-metallic inclusions and segregations.
