ASP® 2008
ASP® 2008 is a powder metallurgical tool steel whose unique analysis takes it to a new step by achieving a very good compromise between impact resistance, compressive strength and adhesive/abrasive wear resistance up to 64 HRC.

- Soft annealed : 260 HB
- Cold drawn : 10-40 HB
- Cold rolled : 10-40 HB
Characteristics
ASP® 2008 is particularly recommended for tools that suffer mainly from mixed adhesive/abrasive wear and chipping/cracking. Such failure mechanism can occur with processed materials such as aluminium, austenitic stainless steels, mild steels, copper and with thick and/or Ultra High Strength Steels. ASP® 2008 is especially efficient in the below mentioned applications:
- cold forging
- blanking and forming
- fine blanking
- powder compaction
- minting of coins
- rolling rolls
- rotary cutters
- slitting knives
- granulator knives
- encapsulation
