The Tools and Dies Industry requires materials and technologies that can withstand extreme stress, wear, and thermal conditions. Precision and durability are the foundation of this sector, where every tool must perform consistently in demanding environments.
One of the most effective solutions for enhancing tool performance is the vacuum brazing of 9Cr18Mo stainless steel with boron carbide ceramic.
9Cr18Mo stainless steel provides exceptional hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for mechanical components subjected to continuous impact and friction.
Boron carbide ceramic, one of the hardest materials known, offers superior wear resistance, high temperature stability, and low density, making it invaluable in precision cutting and grinding applications.
By combining these two advanced materials through Normantherm’s vacuum brazing process, manufacturers achieve tools and dies that last longer, perform better, and resist wear and tear more effectively than conventional components.

An ion source sampling cone sits at the front line of mass spectrometry. It faces high temperatures corrosive gases and constant mechanical stress. The weld quality determines whether the cone delivers accurate results or becomes a source of contamination and drift.
Beryllium copper is a high-performance copper alloy widely used in industries requiring a unique combination of electrical conductivity, strength, elasticity, and wear resistance.
Silver contacts on silicon nitride ceramic heating plates take a beating. High temperatures thermal cycling and mechanical stress eventually take their toll. When the contact degrades heating performance suffers.
