Die Casting

Pressure die casting offers an economical way of producing large quantities of complex, high tolerance parts in aluminium, magnesium, zinc and copper alloys. The continued growth of the die-casting process in many industries is leading to demands for long production runs and therefore dies with longer lifespan.

Die-casting dies are exposed to severe thermal and mechanical cyclic loading, which puts high demands on the die material in its resistance to heat checking, erosion/corrosion, cracking and indentation.

ASSAB is a leader in the supply of a range of die materials that meet standard industrial specifications such as NADCA. They include grades Dievar, ASSAB 8407 Supreme and QRO 90 Supreme.

Dievar with its unparalleled performance superior over many competitor materials is worth special mention. Encompassing outstanding chemical composition and the latest in production technique, its exceptional property profile includes unmatched ductility, toughness and heat checking resistance. Its high hot strength and temper resistance also make it the logical choice for a wide range of hot work applications especially in high pressure die casting.

DIEVAR

Dievar is ASSAB’s premium steel developed for the demanding application of High pressure die casting. It is the industry benchmark for as the high performance steel for the longest tool life and lowest crack risks due to its superior toughness and ductility. Apart from die casting it has proven itself as a great tool steel for other applications such as forging, extrusion and hot stamping.

ASSAB 8407 SUPREME

ASSAB 8407 Supreme is our trusted premium H13 steel for all kinds of hot work tool applications. Proven over and over again ASSAB 8407 Supreme has stood the test of time and remains well known in the tooling industry for its high and reliable performance and ease of maching. In markets served by Uddeholm, ASSAB 8407 Supreme is promoted as Orvar Supreme.

QRO 90 SUPREME

QRO 90 Supreme is an electro slag remelted steel suitable for applications such as hot stamping, brass forging, die casting core inserts and brass extrusion. With its outstanding thermal fatigue resistance, thermal conductivity and temper back resistance QRO 90 Supreme excels as a tool steels where tools tempers down quickly to lower hardness.

UNIMAX

Unimax is a high hardness electroslag remelted tool steel which provides great wear resistance even over extended time at elevated temperatures. This product is suitable for coating and nitriding. Unimax performs very well in precision forging, hot stamping and moulding of reinforced plastics.
