Universal tool steel for cold working applications, characterized by high hardness,
high wear resistance and
excellent toughness.
K353 is recommended for short to medium run production series where good wear resistance properties are required and resistance to chipping/cracking is very important.

BÖHLER M303 EXTRA is a stainless martensitic chromium steel, offering excellent toughness, corrosion and wear resistance. It is characterized by improved machinability and polishability.
And what is special about it – BÖHLER M303 EXTRA was developed for improved homogeneity ensuring excellent usage properties. And the outcome is – compared to 1.2316 – the prevention of delta ferrite in the matrix.

A powder metallurgy cold work tool steel with an outstanding capacity for plastic yield and a high fatigue strength.
The property profile:
• high strength
• highest ductility
• highest fatigue strength
• good compressive strength
• good wear resistance
• good thermal stability

BÖHLER RAPID BHT is our latest development, High Speed Steel in bars (B), hardened (H) and tempered (T) execution.
BÖHLER RAPID BHT is recommended for special cutting tools, middle and low series, with complex geometries.
BÖHLER RAPID BHT is always useful for cold work tools, whenever tools are required with short delivery times.

BÖHLER W360 ISOBLOC was developed as a tool steel for dies and punches in warm and hot forging. With a hardness range in use from 52 to a maximum of 57 HRc and good toughness throughout this hardness range, the steel can be used for a variety of applications where hardness and toughness are required.

BÖHLER N360 ISOEXTRA is a corrosion resistant, martensitic stainless steel, produced using the P-ESR-process. Compared to conventionally produced Cr and CrMo steels BÖHLER N360 ISOEXTRA offers improved corrosion resistance and toughness properties as well as high hardness and compressive strength.

BÖHLER K390 MICROCLEAN is quite simply the powder metallurgical cold work tool steel with the best properties for cold work applications available from BÖHLER at the moment.
K390 MICROCLEAN was developed to meet the demanding wear resistance and compressive strength requirements of cutting, blanking and punching applications, for cold forming applications and for parts which are subjected to abrasive wear in plastics processing.
