Extending the useful life of tools is a constant challenge for forging companies. The selection of the right alloy to build the tools with is the key in the process in order to prevent faults. A new allow has been developed, based on H10 steel. Its performance has been proven in an industrial environment, with the aim of improving the useful life of the tools of hot forming Hatebur machines.
We would like to invite you to a webinar in which we will show you the strategy we used to design the new alloy, and the results obtained in an industrial environment.
During the webinar you will be able to use the chat to interact with us and ask questions.
