Technical guide
The life of a die depends above all on the materials of its active parts: certified tool steels are the foundation; special sintered steels and WIDIA (cemented carbide) inserts are used where wear is greatest, for example in high-speed dies, to extend cutting-edge life and reduce maintenance.
Quick answer
The life of a die depends above all on the materials of its active parts: certified tool steels are the foundation; special sintered steels and WIDIA (cemented carbide) inserts are used where wear is greatest, for example in high-speed dies, to extend cutting-edge life and reduce maintenance.
We use steels supplied by certified companies, with technical documentation for every product: metallographic analysis, hardness tests and ultrasonic non-destructive testing. Heat treatments and coatings are carried out by certified companies with an ACCREDIA-accredited testing laboratory.
| Tool steels | Structures and active parts for medium volumes |
|---|---|
| Sintered steels | Active parts subject to heavy wear, better toughness and homogeneity |
| WIDIA (cemented carbide) | Cutting edges for high speeds and long runs, thin strip |
Since 1969, we have been designing and building sheet metal dies in Rosà (VI): feasibility study with the customer, 3D CAD design, construction in our own toolroom and tryout with dimensional inspection. UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification by TÜV SÜD.
No: it pays off where wear is high, as in high-speed dies and long production runs.
Through documentation from the certified supplier: metallographic analysis, hardness and ultrasonic testing.

Bean Force
Up to 10× the force of a spring, from the bottom up, in a few centimetres. For press tools, high-pressure valves, seismic dissipators for racking and steel structures and wherever more force is needed.
