A Near-Surface Layer Heat Treatment of Die Casting Dies by Means of Electron-Beam Technology

Increasing the service life of die casting dies is an important goal of the foundry industry. Approaches are either material- or process-related. Despite new material concepts, hot work steels such as H11 are still predominantly used in the uncoated condition for die casting dies. In order to withst...
