Materials for Machine Components – Industrial Machinery Steel
voestalpine provides advanced tooling solutions for plastic injection moulding machine components through its High-Performance Metals division. Their offerings include tool steel from premium brands of BÖHLER and Uddeholm, ensuring exceptional wear and corrosion resistance, high polishability, and long service life. Key innovations include additive manufacturing (AM) inserts with conformal cooling channels, which significantly reduce cycle times and improve temperature uniformity, minimizing scrap rates. Voestalpine also integrates venting structures to prevent defects like the diesel effect and offers sensorized inserts for real-time process monitoring. Complementary services such as heat treatment, coating, and texturing complete the value chain, enabling mould makers and injection moulders to achieve superior productivity, precision, and cost efficiency
The following graphics illustrate the key components of an injection‑moulding system designed for processing highly corrosive & non-corrosive compounds. They highlight critical tooling areas—such as inserts, bolsters, backflow valves, screws, and barrels —along with high performance steel grades engineered to withstand chemical attack, abrasive fillers, and high thermal cycling, ensuring long‑term durability and stable processing performance.
