High-Performance Alloys for the Metal Forming Industry
Metal forming, including forming, stamping, and tooling operations, requires alloys that can withstand high friction, heavy loads, and repetitive motion without failure. Traditional tool steels often suffer from galling and premature wear. AMPCO® alloys are engineered to provide exceptional wear resistance, non-galling properties, and superior sliding performance, making them ideal for metal forming and processing applications.
AMPCO® aluminum bronze alloys are engineered to combine high mechanical properties with exceptional wear resistance without adhesion or cold welding, while providing superior sliding properties and a low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for metal forming and processing applications.
Why Choose AMPCO® Alloys for Metal Forming
- Non-galling properties prevent adhesion and downtime
- Exceptional wear resistance under high friction
- Superior sliding properties improve surface finish
- High mechanical strength for demanding applications
- Proven performance in forming, stamping, and tooling
