Parts in the Stamping and Metalforming Industry:

  • Stamping Dies (punching, blanking, embossing, coining, bending, and flanging.)
  • Punches
  • Bushings and guide pillars


Transmission parts in mechanisms of the presses – see Transmissions and Drive Systems Industry

Requirements for the parts:

  • For high Hardness
  • For high Wear resistance
  • For high Fatigue strength
  • For Plastic deformation resistance

Ion Nitriding Solutions:

  • Significantly increasing the surface hardness, wear (abrasive and adhesive) resistance and fatigue life of the tools, improving their lifespan and performance.
  • Improving the thermal fatigue resistance of the tools.
  • Reducing the friction coefficient needed both for the tools and for the bushings and guide pillars.
  • Increasing the corrosion resistance which is needed if the die sets are working in environments with moisture or corrosive substances.

Improving these parameters will save from downtime and maintenance costs.

Steel Grades Used:


  • Hardness and depth values are recommended for the industry and exact values will depend on the nitriding process parameters.
  • This is not a full list of used steel grades
  • Example of H13 tool steel after Ion Nitriding - surface hardness and diffusion depth
