In the cold work tool steel area, TENASTEEL® is an up-date answer to actual manufacturing and operating conditions. For example, in automotive industry, TENASTEEL® fits perfectly with processed material trend (high thicknesses, very high strength steels, aluminium…) and with high manufacturing rates used actually. With practical values located between those of conventional steels (X160 CrMoV12/AISI D2) and of steels resulting from the powder metallurgy, TENASTEEL® solution appears effective and competitive. It allows improvement of productivity of the press tools, thanks to the increase in lifespan of active parts. TENASTEEL® is also perfectly adapted to the current designs of the tools ; in particular, it lends itself to all the surface treatments and coatings, and this, without any restriction.
