Analysis of the Influence of Surface Modifications on the Fatigue Behavior of Hot Work Tool Steel Components

Hot work tool steels (HWS) are widely used for high performance components as dies and molds in hot forging processes, where extreme process-related mechanical and thermal loads limit tool life. With the functionalizing and modification of tool surfaces with tailored surfaces, a promising approach i...
