High-Strength Specialis® for Tooling Applications
Is Specialis® the Tool Steel the AM Industry Has Been Waiting for Since 2005❓ #MaterialsMonday
In 2005, the spotlight was put on the tooling industry for Metal #AdditiveManufacturing industrialization by Dr. Joachim Hutfless from Trumpf with the TrumaForm LF130: https://res.cloudinary.com/sternwald-systems/raw/upload/v1/hugoprd/ARTIKEL_ATTACH/001F43A8_D83289C6907D/a2e36539340f393f449c3d76ee931eff7091d9f9/FW_2005_01_Fuer-wen-ist-direktes-Laserformen-interessant.pdf
Since then, efforts have been focused on developing materials that can meet the demands of this field. Rosswag Engineering’s exclusive tool steel Specialis® could be the solution the industry has been waiting for:
🛠️ Exceptional Strength: Achieves more than 800 HV hardness and an improved high-temperature hardness up to 600 °C - ideal for high-performance tools
🔧 Advanced Alloying: Specialis® includes Vanadium and Aluminum, which refine grain structures and improve mechanical properties
⚙️ Specifically designed for AM: Optimized for precision manufacturing through LPBF even without powder bed preheating
After nearly two decades of #MetalAM development for tooling, Specialis® provides the reliability needed to push the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing forward, combining material performance with the capacity to form complex and functional optimized geometries 🚀💡
