The thickness limits are application examples from the archive; tooling suitability also depends on the workpiece material, geometry, heat treatment and operating conditions.

These values reproduce our technical archive. Confirm the exact grade, delivery condition and required properties against the material supplier’s certificate. A dash means that the source does not specify a value.
