By utilizing our High-Speed Steel (HSS), a renowned Pakistani cutlery manufacturer successfully extended their tool life by 200%.

Customer Pain Points:· Original Material: Conventional M2 High-Speed Steel (HSS).· Workpiece: 0.5mm thick 304 stainless steel terminals.· Failure Mode: Severe premature wear on the die cutting edge during high-speed continuous stamping (approx. 450 strokes/min). The die required regrinding every 150,000 strokes, leading to frequent downtime, low production efficiency, and high per-unit costs.Our Solution:· Recommended Material: TG High-Performance Powder Metallurgy (PM) High-Speed Steel.· Performance Advantages:· Finer and More Uniform Carbide Distribution: Provides superior wear resistance and exceptional edge retention.· Higher Compressive Strength and Toughness: Engineered to withstand the intense impact and stress of high-speed continuous stamping.· Technical Support: Provided optimized heat treatment process recommendations to maximize the material's potential.Results:After the customer trialed and switched to our material, the following improvements were achieved:1. Significant Lifespan Extension: The average interval between regrinds increased from 150,000 to 550,000 strokes, a 267% increase in tool life.2. Increased Production Efficiency: Downtime caused by tool maintenance was reduced by 70%, resulting in a 15% increase in monthly output.3. Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Although the initial material cost per die increased, the total processing cost per stamped part was reduced by approximately 18%.Customer Feedback:"The wear resistance of this PM high-speed steel exceeded our expectations," stated the customer’s Technical Director. "Not only is the lifespan significantly extended, but the wear is also more uniform, making our production schedules far more stable and predictable."
