Forming processes place very high demands on the wear resistance and stability of the tools and mountings used. High surface qualities are required.

Ceramic tools and components are replacing traditional materials such as tool steel and tungsten carbide in many applications. Due to their high hardness and wear resistance, components made from high-performance ceramics are used in the field of forming technology, for example, for forming rollers.

The material typically used here – depending on the operating conditions - are our CERAZUR and VOLCERA products.

VOLCERA also impresses when used in hot-forming processes at temperatures of up to 1,100 °C thanks to its extremely high thermal-shock resistance.

Compatible Materials

Cerazur®

When used in technical applications, Cerazur offers enormous potential for designing procedures and processes that are more stable, durable and ultimately more reliable.

Volcera

Volcera is characterised by a range of properties that make it a very interesting choice for industrial applications.

Zirconium oxide

Zirconium oxide is an inorganic non-metal material that belongs to the group of oxide ceramics.

ZM-131

ZrO2-MgO is a high-performance ceramic made of zirconium oxide partially stabilised with magnesium oxide. Our newly developed DOCERAM ZM-131 extends our material portfolio in the field of zirconium oxide ceramic materials.

Latest applications

Flanging

Flanging is a bonding and forming technology used in sheet-metal forming. By bending over the edge of metal sheets using a flanging machine, the process reinforces the bent edge or creates a connection consisting of multiple components.

Cold forming

Cold forming refers to the plastic forming of metals. This operation takes place substantially below the recrystallisation temperature of the material.
