Precision-customized hot forging dies are specifically designed and manufactured according to unique customer specifications and application requirements. They are used in the hot forging process where metals are heated above their recrystallization temperature before being shaped under high pressure. This process allows for the production of complex parts with superior mechanical properties, particularly suited for environments that require high-temperature resistance and wear resistance.

1. Material Selection:

• High-Quality Tool Steels: Commonly used materials include H13, H11, and other hot work tool steels known for their excellent thermal fatigue resistance and toughness.

• Special Alloys: Superalloys like Inconel or Hastelloy may be used for applications requiring exceptional heat and corrosion resistance.

2. Advanced Design:

• Utilizes advanced CAD/CAM software to create highly accurate and intricate designs.

• Capabilities for simulating forging processes (using FEA/FEM) to predict material flow and optimize die design.

3. Heat Resistance:

• Engineered to withstand continuous exposure to high temperatures without compromising structural integrity.

• Heat treatment processes such as nitriding, carburizing, or vacuum hardening enhance thermal stability.

4. Wear Resistance:

• Surface treatments including PVD coatings, ceramic coatings, or diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings can significantly increase wear resistance.

• Special attention is given to the geometry of the die to reduce friction and wear during operation.

5. Complex Geometry Handling:

• Tailored to produce parts with complex geometries, including undercuts, ribs, threads, and multi-diameter configurations.

• Multi-cavity dies can be developed for increased efficiency and throughput.

6. Durability and Longevity:

• Designed for long service life even under harsh conditions, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

• Regular maintenance and reconditioning services ensure consistent performance over time.
