For complex material requirements
Whether as forging die, tool holder or industrial knife, as extrusion die or plastic or glass mould, as ejector pin or saw blade - the list of applications for modern tool steels is long. The requirement profile of modern tool steels is just as diverse.
BGH grades combine properties such as wear resistance, mirror polishability, resistance to heat and thermal shock, and of course strength and toughness to suit your particular application.
Through optimised metallurgy, we achieve the best degrees of purity and homogeneous microstructures, which are decisive for a long service life of your tools.

Properties
BGH DIECAST ONE is a Cr-Mo-V-alloyed hot working steel with optimized chemistry compared to DIN-grade 1.2367. By using ESR (electro slag remelting) excellent homogeneity and cleanliness are achieved.
BGH DIECAST ONE is the perfect choice for aluminium die casting tools. It meets the highest demands on strength and wear resistance at high temperatures and provides outstanding dimensional and shape stability and good resistance against tempering.
Delivery condition
- EFS-annealed (extra fine structure)
- annealed (+A) max. 229 HBW
Application area
Tools and dies for light metal casting. Complex tool geometries and environments with high demands on resistance against wear and temperature changes.
Typical applications
- Moulds for aluminium die casting
- Forging dies
- Press dies
