AHSS
Using advanced high strength steels (AHSS) from Uddeholm can provide organizations with many advantages. However, with the increasing use of advanced high strength steel in new product designs, higher demands are also placed on tool steels used in forming and blanking/ punching operations. We provide selection guidelines that enable design engineers and material experts to find the best tooling solution for forming and blanking/punching advanced high strength steels with the following steel types:
- Micro alloyed steels
- Bainitic steels
- Dual phase steels
- Complex phase steels
- Roll forming steels
- Martensitic steels
From an environmental standpoint, advanced high strength steels can significantly reduce weight in producing a detail, allow for smaller amounts of raw material to be used and consume less energy. At the same time, less energy is needed to transport the steel and the steel itself is also totally renewable.
