UDDEHOLM VANCRON 40 – Winner of the 2007 EPMA Award of Merit in the category equipment and materialsprint

UDDEHOLM VANCRON 40 is a unique 3rd Generation Powder Metallurgy (PM) nitrogen alloyed high performance tool steel with excellent anti-galling and low friction properties. It is usually not necessary to coat UDDEHOLM VANCRON 40 tools to avoid problems with galling.

Benefits
Saves coating, decoating, repolishing and recoating costs and the time involved.

Final adjustments can be made after heat treatment – this is not possible after a coating has been applied.

Often outperforms coated tooling.

Example 1

Component: part for pump housing

Tool type: draw die

Work material: 0.5 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel

The draw ring made from an uncoated PM 23 type steel produced around 83,000 parts before galling occurred. The uncoated UDDEHOLM VANCRON 40 ring showed no signs of galling after 18 million parts.

Example 2

Component: automotive structural part

Tool type: forming block

Work material: 2.6 mm thick HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) steel

The TD (Toyota Defusion)coated D2 type of forming block had to be decoated and recoated after around 18,000 pressings. The uncoated UDDEHOLM VANCRON 40 block produced over 400,000 parts and only required some light polishing and stoning between some of the runs.
