Q: What material is the punch made from, and is it durable?
A: The punch is machined from SKD11 high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel and is quench-hardened. This makes it highly resistant to wear and deformation under repeated striking, ensuring reliable performance across many applications.
Q: What does a flowering punch do in riveting?
