Hot metal working

Tungsten alloy for hot metal working

Tungsten alloy can save time and money in hot metal working. The high tungsten content offers good resistance to thermal cracking, erosion, soldering and the effects of heat cycling in hot metal working processes. Experience has shown that, due to its non-wetting properties, tungsten alloy has significantly increased longevity over the equivalent parts in steel or cast iron. Tungsten alloy does not require heat treatment before use.

Applications

• Die inserts used in the extrusion of brass and copper;
• Tooling for low-pressure die-casting of aluminum and brass;
• Hot upsetting dies;
• Filler rods for die repair.
