High-Performance Alloys for Deep Drawing

Deep drawing is a demanding forming process used to produce complex shapes with precise tolerances, often in industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. Tool steels in these applications are prone to galling, excessive wear, and inconsistent performance. AMPCO® alloys are engineered to solve these challenges with their non-galling properties, high wear resistance, and ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results even in demanding conditions.
