Press Die [Precision Die Design and Parts Processing Examples] Improvement of Carbide Punch Lifespan

The lifespan of punches has tripled thanks to milling technology for hard materials! Here we present a case study for a precision electronic components manufacturer.
When machining hard materials using electrical discharge machining, micro-cracks caused by thermal effects occur during processing. These cracks penetrate to a depth of about 20μm, and no matter how much polishing is done to create a smooth surface, they remain.
These cracks can lead to wear in punches that are subjected to high loads.
In contrast, milling does not produce any micro-cracks at all. Milling tools can go down to R0.1, providing a very high degree of flexibility in machining shapes.
[Case Overview]
■ Customer Industry: Precision electronic components manufacturer
■ Inquiry: Wanted to improve the lifespan of hard material riveting punches
■ Proposed Solution: Transition from electrical discharge machining to milling
■ Technology Used: Milling technology for hard materials
■ Results: The lifespan of the punches has tripled
