Hot working tool steels

We supply a high-quality selection of hot working tool steels, perfectly matched to your application. Due to their excellent thermal shock and tempering resistance, hot toughness and high hot wear resistance, our tried and tested steels offer long service lives at operating temperatures above 200 °C.

With BGH DIECAST ONE optimised for aluminium die casting or BGH TOUGH ONE, we also offer you two materials with significantly improved operating properties compared to standard grades.

Properties
BGH TOUGH ONE is a Cr-Mo-V alloyed hot working steel with high thermal shock resistance and very good wear resistance. BGH Tough One clearly exceeds the toughness of the DIN analysis of 1.2343.
The same heat treatment parameters apply to BGH TOUGH ONE compared to the DIN-grade.

Delivery condition

  • EFS-annealed (extra fine structure)
  • annealed (+A) max. 229 HBW
  • quenched and tempered (+QT) upon request

Application area
Highly stressed filigree tools in environments with demands on resistance against wear and temperature changes in combination with good toughness values.

Typical applications

  • Extrusion presses
  • Forging dies
  • Pressure die-casting
  • Plastic moulds
  • Press dies
  • Hot shear blades

Heat treatment lösungsgeglüht (+AT)

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
