One of the main challenges in selecting materials for hot forming dies is ensuring hot wear resistance. With high contact pressures and temperatures, the die surface can wear significantly, leading to a decrease in dimensional accuracy of the final product. Uddeholm offers a wide range of high-quality hot forming material for superior performance in a variety of applications.
Uddeholm Skolvar is specifically designed for hot forming tools and has the best combination of hot wear resistance, hot strength and high temper-back resistance. This is achieved through an optimized manufacturing process and a fine-tuned chemical composition. Together it gives a superior property profile, tailor-made for your next demanding hot forging application.
