However, the development in tool body and tool holder has been lagging behind. This is now about to change with the new Uddeholm Tool Holder Concept. The next generation of tool holder steel The driving force behind the Uddeholm Tool Holder Concept is to develop a new generation of unique, specialised steel grades that satisfy requirements on durability while still being very easy to machine. In close collaboration with leading tool manufacturers, Uddeholm has developed two steel grades with superior properties in order to handle the extreme working conditions of drilling, milling and turning applications. Uddeholm Bure has been setting the standard in tool holder steel for over a decade. It is a high-strength steel designed to shorten tool making lead times and improve tool holder durability in severe working conditions. Compared to similar steel grades, Bure is far easier to machine and its superior hot strength makes it highly resistant to thermal fatigue, resulting in a tool holder that lasts much longer. Uddeholm Balder is a brand new, pre-hardened steel grade with excellent mechanical properties which makes it the ultimate choice for milling cutter bodies. With no need for a long and costly hardening process and with its superb machinability, lead times can be significantly shortened leading to major cost savings for the tool holder manufacturer. Since our tool holder steel grades are easier to machine, you will save a lot of time when shaping your tool bodies and chucks. To further facilitate the manufacturing of cutter tool holders, Uddeholm is continuously developing the Tool Holder Concept and new steel grades are soon about to see the light of day. The combination of the best cutting tool materials on the market and the leading tool holder steel grades makes it possible to increase productivity as the tools will last longer. Make machining easier – go for a better steel. For more information, please contact: Communication Director Boo Rundqvist, +46 70-20 60 368.
