The requirements for acceptable H13 die insert life challenge the capability of today’s most advanced casting and heat treating equipment. Although the material composition and casting processes are key factors in acceptable die insert life, proper insert hardening is essential.
Join a discussion of the specifications, important die metallurgical considerations, process steps, and furnace equipment considerations for die hardening. Join SECO/TALKS.
