Coining Dies’ Requirements
When selecting die materials, in addition to traditional considerations such as strength, and wear resistance, precision of machining this must also be taken into consideration. Modern coining dies are made from hardened steel, but recently we have received some inquiries about tungsten carbide coining dies as well. Due to the excellent performance of cemented carbide, it is becoming a new choice for coining dies.If you are looking for new materials suitable for coining dies, please contact Oston Carbon for further information.
