What happens to the punches after being produced?
It’s time for heat treatment.
First, the punches are heated in the hardening furnace to achieve the desired hardness.
After hardening, the material is extremely hard, but also brittle.
The punches are then tempered. This makes the material tougher and slightly softer, creating the right balance between hardness and toughness.
Watch the video to follow the process step by step.
