Failure mechanisms in cold work tooling Due to cyclic mechanical loading and sliding contact between work material and tool surface, the active surfaces of the tool are successively damaged. The destruction of the tool will sooner or later lead to quality problems on the formed parts (out of tolerance or bad surface qualities). The tool has then to be exchanged (total failure), reground or refurbished in some way. This maintenance procedure means production standstill and accordingly loss of productivity. It is therefore very important that the tools can resist the different types of tool failure mechanisms in order to achieve high productivity and economical production. The selection of the right tool steel is thus directly linked to the resistance of the actual tool failure mechanism for the application.

Drawing
Deep Drawing
The proper steel selection for the application depends primarily on the Work Materials type, strength, thickness and workpiece geometry. The most critical failure mechanisms are adhesive / abrasive wear and galling. General Press drawing is the forming of a shell from a flat metal sheet into a shape that has side walls. Press drawing is normally referred to as deep drawing when the shape drawn is deeper than half its diameter. Failure mechanisms in cold work tooling Due to cyclic mechanical loading and sliding contact between work material and tool surface, the active surfaces of the tool are successively damaged. The destruction of the tool will sooner or later lead to quality problems on the formed parts (out of tolerance or bad surface qualities). The tool has then to be exchanged (total failure), reground or refurbished in some way. This maintenance procedure means production standstill and accordingly loss of productivity. It is therefore very important that the tools can resist the different types of tool failure mechanisms in order to achieve high
productivity and economical production. The selection of the right tool steel is thus directly linked to the resistance of the actual tool failure mechanism for the application.

Bending
For bending, the tool steel selection depends primarily on the work materials type, strength, thickness and workpiece geometry. The most critical failure mechanisms for bending of softer work materials ( 300 HB )are abrasive, adhesive wear and for harder ( 300 HB ) abrasive, adhesive, galling and plastic deformation. General Bending is one of the most common forming operations. It is used to change the shape of a material by plastically deforming it. In bending there is normally only deformation about one axis.

Press Forming
Press forming is basically a cold bending operation used to shape, flange or make shallow impressions in part previously blanked out or sheared from sheet. Failure mechanisms in cold work tooling Due to cyclic mechanical loading and sliding contact between work material and tool surface, the active surfaces of the tool are successively damaged. The destruction of the tool will sooner or later lead to quality problems on the formed parts (out of tolerance or bad surface qualities). The tool has then to be exchanged (total failure), reground or refurbished in some way. This maintenance procedure means production standstill and accordingly loss of productivity. It is therefore very important that the tools can resist the different types of tool failure mechanisms in order to achieve high productivity and economical production. The selection of the right tool steel is thus directly linked to the resistance of the actual tool failure mechanism for the application.

Shearing / Slitting of Mild Carbon Steel
