A mould base is a crucial factor in mould production. If the material has not been treated correctly, it can lead to deformation. Additionally, standardised and well-prepared mould bases already have the correct size and all the necessary holes.

When steel plates are produced, tension results in the material due to the various machining processes – caused, for example, by the effect of irregular temperature influences.With stress-relieving heat treatment, the tension in the material is minimised without changes to the microstructure or strength.
