Hot-forming and open die forging presses and forging hammers for, e.g., liners, stems,
contour forged parts

used in the same application area. To improve the ductility of
HMoD, it is alloyed with Molybdenum, which also facilitates

tECHNICAL dATA - Creep rupture strength
SA 718, SA 50 Ni, HWF (A286)
The two materials SA 718 and SA 50 are precipitation har-
dening alloys with excellent high temperature strength. It is
600
preferably used during heavy-metal extrusion, where the resi-
500
stance to softening of martensitic hot-worked steels is insuf-
ficient. These materials are generally used for dies, mandrel
Creep strength in MPa
400 tips and pressure pads. Using SA 718 for inner liners in the
ingot container when extruding bronze, copper and copper-
300 SA50Ni nickel alloys can significantly extend the operating life. One
of the best-known representatives of austenitic hot-work
HWF
200 steels is HWF steel. This austenitic, precipitation hardening
SA718 steel is used during extrusion for particularly highly thermally
100
stressed inner liners, dies or die holders.

Heat treatment
Along with steel production and forging, proper hardening and tempering also have great influence on the perfor-
mance of the tools. Heat treatment is performed at Kind & Co. with a number of various hardening and tempering
furnaces.
We are the right point of contact for selecting the most suitable steel grades for hardening, servicing and solving
your demanding material challenges. Our qualified application engineers are glad to advise you on your specific
needs.
