HARDNESS AND CHARPY IMPACT VALUES IN DIE STEELS
When it comes to steels used in the die cast industry, one of the key factors that die casters are looking for is consistency. Consistency can come in many forms. We can have consistency in quality, pricing, hardness levels, and many more. One of the main consistencies that need to be maintained in order to achieve longer die life is mechanical properties. In particular “Charpy Impact Strength”.

ALUMINUM MOTORCYCLE WHEEL
SCRAP REDUCING CASE STUDY WITH HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY DIE STEEL
A manufacturer of an aluminum motorcycle wheels was suffering with a rejection rate of 45%. The majority of the rejects were caused by shrinkage around the center core pin for the axle area. The original pin was made out of H-13 at HRC 49 and nitrided. The caster was unable to get sufficient cooling of the H-13 pin to eliminate the shrinkage problem..
