Next Generation Our main supplier Dörrenberg is relentless in the innovation of new special steels and alloys, many of which improve upon the more traditional cold work steels and will perform under the most arduous of conditions. For example, during hot stamping of high-strength sheet metals, the forming tools are exposed to high wear, particularly on drawing radii. More common steels such as 1.2367 or 1.2344 (H13) are often not sufficient in terms of wear resistance. Therefore, many operators use our special next generation tools steels WP7V & CP2M®. WP7V is characterised by an excellent ratio of hardness and toughness and has a high wear resistance even at elevated temperatures. CP2M® is a newly developed special material, which achieves excellent wear resistance sue to high hardness and high thermal conductivity.
