In this webinar, which is aimed at designers, buyers and production people, SSAB’s experts explain some basic concepts of sheet metal pressing, as well as killing the myth that steel with a higher elongation automatically has better ductility.
There is money to be saved when designing a steel part that is to be shaped by pressing. It is important to coordinate design, steel grade and tool geometry for a profitable result. Get SSAB’s technical experts involved from the outset. They help – at no extra cost – with advice and, if necessary, simulations to ensure quality, reduced development costs and shorter development time.
The webinar will also answer frequently asked questions such as
- Why is it more relevant to look at the ductility of steel than at elongation?
- What happens to the spring-back if you upgrade from a steel with a yield strength of 420 MPa to 600 MPa?
- How accurate is a simulation?
- How much does the need for press force increase when upgrading to higher strength steel?
- Where do you turn if you have questions about crimping?
