Press Hardening

The press hardening process makes it possible to produce sheet metal parts up to three times stronger than standard steel – and all in the same press operation. Hot blanks are formed and cooled rapidly in the press tool. The process sets tough demands for all equipment in the process to work together optimally. AP&T is a world leader when it comes to complete press hardening lines, where the entire process from blank feeding and heating to forming and ejection is run by the very same control system.
