Press Hardening / Hot Forming - voestalpine HPM Division

Reduction of weight to reduce energy consumption is a high focus of the Automotive industry. With press hardening it is possible to process high strength sheets which allow to produce parts which are 30-35% lighter than those out of conventional steel.

However, this significantly increases the demands for an optimized tooling solutions which can ensure high up-time of the production lines and at the same time accurate parts.
