Get More Out of Your Press Brake Tooling with the Right Surface Treatment - In a perfect world, there would be no galling, no abrasive forces that wear out tooling, no radius distortion, and the list goes on and on. But the reality is that in sheet metal fabrication, every application has unique requirements and depending on the material, tool steel, bend angle and many other factors, these requirements can cause undesirable effects. These undesirable effects can then result in excessive downtime, poor quality parts, a decrease in production – all of which hurt your bottom line. Fortunately, there are ways to help avoid these problems.
