Swiss Steel Group offers comprehensive material solutions for hot-work steels

The Swiss Steel Group has drawn on its extensive expertise in the production of hot-work steels to offer high-quality materials for die-casting tools and their components. Tool manufacturers benefit from bespoke solutions tailored to their individual requirements.

There are numerous advantages to sourcing die-casting tool steel from the Swiss Steel Group:

• High-quality special steels: The Swiss Steel Group offers a wide range of special steels developed specifically for die-casting tools. These steels offer outstanding mechanical and technological properties, such as high toughness, excellent resistance to hot wear and thermally induced stress cracking, as well as high thermal conductivity.

• Bespoke solutions: The Swiss Steel Group works closely with its customers to develop bespoke material solutions that meet the specific requirements of die-casting toolmaking. This enables optimum performance and efficiency in production.

• Integrated process chain: The hot-work steels, smelted in an electric arc furnace, are subsequently rolled or forged (round, square or flat) and are available in peeled or milled finishes. The steel products are heat-treated. Standardising the process chain under one roof enables the Swiss Steel Group to achieve a significant increase in efficiency for its customers. The supply chain is improved, resulting in shorter production times and lower overall costs.

• Comprehensive expertise: The Swiss Steel Group has many years of experience and expertise in the field of special steels. Customers benefit from comprehensive advice and support throughout the entire production process.

With this expanded product range, the Swiss Steel Group is strengthening its position as the preferred partner for companies in the die-casting sector. Customers can rely on high-quality materials, bespoke solutions and a seamless process chain to meet their production targets.
