4.2 The insert of the cutting tool The next study case was the insert of a cutting tool for the deep drawing process. The tool steels M2 and T15 were deposited in such a functional layer of the cutting edge. Preheating of the insert was used due to the high content of carbon and alloying elements. It was necessary to preheat the base material to a temperature of 400 °C, in order to quality deposition of the material and the formation of the cutting edge were ensured. A pre-heated part was put on the heating plate and homogenous temperature distribution was provided by Sibral insulating material. The clamped part with isolation is shown in Figure 9.
