Tool Steel M4 - 350 Micron Substrate

Jan 10, 2006 0 Replies

What are the mechanical properties of M4 tool steel, is it suitable to punch thermoplastic at 350 micron with a press tonnage of 10 tons.


What would be the recommended life of the tool, i.e. number of hits until it lost its cutting edge? is there a better tool steel for the above material?


Thanks for you thoughts,


Andy
