The reasons

• less vibrations
• near-final shape production (injection moulding, pressing)
• extreme surface hardness
• lower moment of inertia and therefore shorter response times
• Lightweight profile / low component weight, as little as 2.5 times lighter compared to steel
• higher operating temperatures may reach up to max. 1350°C, thus allowing for higher efficiency

Applications
