Material Matters- Hardness Machinability and Strength are the Bottom Line as Materials Manufacturers and Suppliers Continue to Reduce Moldmakers Leadtimes Without Sacrificing Quality or Cost
-
Thanks to an explosion in offshore tooling in the U.S. over the last decade, as well as rising steel prices, domestic mold and tool shops have found it increasingly difficult to compete in the marketplace. However, better steels, including copper alloys, can solve these problems and produce a better product with increased wear resistance and higher conductivity which decreases cycle time and warping, allowing the alloys to be used as inserts in steel molds.
