Tooling is a critical element in the transformation and manufacturing of metal parts. The main phenomena limiting the useful life of tools are frictional wear and thermal fatigue in the case of hot-work tools. The cost of wear is very high and comprises not only a shorter working life due to premature failure, but also downtime required to replace the worn part or tool.
Working with the tooling industry for over three decades, Nitrex has process- and application-specific know-how to help companies achieve process optimization in manufacturing, as well as to ensure that tooling meet or exceed performance and design expectations.
