Certificate

Highly certified grade, and many properties’ quality is guaranteed by the certifying supplier company such as toughness, microstructure cleanness and many more.

Applications

  • Long life die casting dies, cores and cavities.
  • Die casting dies:
    • On visual sections where heat checking / thermal fatigue occurred
    • Against to cracking, total failure, gross checking risks
    • Against to tough operating conditions due to thermal shock
    • If the wall thickness of the Al part is very thin or very thick
    • Dies with complex geometry.
    • If it is very cosmetic Al part
    • PVD coated insert against to soldering.
  • Cores in press forging die.
  • Press forging dies where high toughness is required.
  • Preferred for dies and molds subjected to high temperatures and the risk to breaking or cracking.
  • Blades, punches thicker than 10 mm in cutting and shearing dies.
  • Cold forging, cold extrusion dies.
