S+C EXTRUSION TOOLING SOLUTIONS
Solutions for the extrusion industry
The efficiency of extrusion depends to a large extent on the performance of the tooling, in particular on its service life. The durability of the extrusion tooling is influenced mainly by the following four factors:
These are clear criteria for the competence and selection of a partner. The alloy steel specialist Schmidt + Clemens is recognised worldwide as a leading supplier to the extrusion industry. S+C has acquired extensive expertise over a number of years through innovation and reliable products that go far beyond the criteria in this branch of industry. Based on many years of cooperation with the extrusion industry, S+C is regarded as a problem solver and partner that can be relied upon for sound advice.
S+C specialist engineers are internationally involved in the development and design of new tools and processes.

Material selection for extrusion tooling
Pre-machined or ready to use tools
Whether pre-machined or ready to use tools – S+C is the right partner, because the S+C Group has extensive expertise that sets international standards.
The most important tools are shown based on the example of a horizontal tube and rod extrusion press. Not all of the tools shown here are in direct contact with the hot extrusion material or are involved in the forming process. The loads/stresses and temperatures to which these tools are exposed therefore differ considerably. The complex interaction of all these components must meet the following requirements: All tools must enable the production of extruded profiles of the highest precision and quality at low tooling costs.
