Cold-Work Die Steel: Development and Application
Due to increased stress when stamping high-strength steels, proac- tive measures against tool failures such as chipping and cracking are required. Matrix-type cold-work die steel, DCMX, has been developed to tackle these problems. DCMX provides a much higher toughness than does D2, and has superb machining efficiency and simple dimensional control in heattreatment.

In-Die Sensing
How In-Die Sensing and Press Setup Technologies Enable Quick Die Changes and Prevent Die Crashes
Teams in stamping operations need to identify quality issues early and adjust quickly so that they can have zero defects shipped to the customer. This is readily accomplished through in-die process validation, electronic measurement and part traceability. Through real-world examples, this ses- sion will discuss how press shops are successfully implementing error proof- ing, preventing die crashes and imple- menting quick die changes.
