XVP Coated Regular Punches - Inch

In injection mold tooling, regular punches with XVP surface treatment are used as precision cutting and forming elements inside punch-and-die operations, especially where repeated high-cycle contact needs stable edge performance. The coated variant helps maintain dimensional stability and reduces tool wear, supporting consistent part quality across long production runs.

• Automotive connector and terminal housings: Use for blanking/forming features that require controlled cut geometry. The XVP coating is suited for sustained cycles where tool faces experience abrasive contact and frequent re-engagement.
• Electronics enclosures and insert features: Pair with compatible die-set layouts for creating small openings or profile features in thin sections. Inch shank sizing supports straightforward integration into common tooling families.
• Appliance and industrial components: Recommended for forming operations with varied tip geometry, since multiple tip shapes (H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z) allow matching the required cutting/blanking profile.

Choose the correct point/tip geometry and length range to match the cavity/core contact area and penetration depth requirements in your process.

The provided specifications describe an XVP coated regular punch for die and punch tooling, but no base steel grade or heat-treatment state (e.g., pre-hardened, quenched & tempered, nitrided) is explicitly listed in the input data. Therefore, material property claims such as HRC hardness, specific wear mechanisms, or toughness trade-offs cannot be stated for the steel substrate with factual certainty.

What is supported by the datasheet: the XVP coating is selected to improve wear resistance and dimensional stability during production cycles. In general tool design terms, higher wear resistance coatings can reduce abrasive wear on the contact face, supporting consistent cutting edges over more cycles; however, performance depends on the underlying substrate hardness and coating thickness.

If you share the substrate grade/heat treat documentation for series 250300511222, we can map it to an equivalent steel and provide exact hardness and treatment details.

Select dimensions to match the required punch penetration, contact length, and guiding interface in your die set. This series supports shank diameter D from 12 to 250 in and point length ranges coded in inches.

• Tip shape: Choose among H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z to align with the cutting/blanking geometry required for your feature.
• Point length (B & L): Standard S point length is 150 to 250 (coded inch). Alternate ranges include 150–400, 150–500, 150–600, 175–600, 200–700, 225–700, and 250–700, depending on the coded configuration.
• Geometry parameters: Confirm P (0.042 to 1.625 in), W (0.062 to 0.5 in), and R (0.007 in) match the intended edge profile.

For fit, ensure the chosen D aligns with the punch guide and holder bore in your tool. If your tooling uses tight guide clearances, verify the punch shank and tip length coding so the working stroke does not exceed the effective cutting engagement depth.
