🧱 Böhler Press Plates – Precipitation-Hardenable Martensitic Grades
These are advanced press plates designed for high flatness, wear resistance, and corrosion performance, especially for decorative laminates and hardboards:
- BÖHLER N702 (AISI 630 / W. Nr. 1.4542)
- Hardness approx. 45–50 HRC, tensile strength 1450–1700 N/mm²
- Excellent corrosion resistance and wear behavior, ideal for peened finishes in continuous production
- BÖHLER N700 (AISI 630 variant)
- Hardness approx. 38–43 HRC, tensile strength 1200–1360 N/mm²
- Optimized for chemically etched surfaces with uniform hardness and flatness
Also available: BÖHLER V320, a carrier/wear plate (~35 HRC / cold-rolled), for lower hardness but good flatness and workability
