KDA1 – The hot work die and tool Steel

KDA1 ( Modify H13 / DIN 2344 ) is a premium grade hot work tool steel that is also actively used for hot forging dies, Extrusion, PDC Dies & special Hot application Moulds. It stands much above its traditional counterpart H13 in terms of hot hardness and associated thermal resistance against distortion at high temperature. The KDA1 is now being relied upon for extremely refined applications where the desirable benchmarks related to finesse and precision are stringent. This directly justifies its rising demand in various industrial and manufacturing orientations of social economy. VIRAT SPECIAL STEELS is the largest Stockiest, supplier and exporter of KDA1 grade steel and caters to enterprising clients in India and the world over.

Superior toughness!

KDA1 showcases superior attributes of strength, toughness and thermal stability and this is because of its specific composition and the process of its manufacturing. The composition is strikingly defined by its purity which means least of undesired substances in it. This is ensured by eliminating the components that reduce the hot hardness and temperature resistance, like when the die casting is done through KDA1 mould. Si or Silicon is one such impurity, the presence of which directly impacts the toughness. KDA1 contains Silicon less than or equal to 0.4% which is lower than H13 that can have up to 1.3% of it. The toughness is thus increased to 150% in KDA1 as compared to H13. Also, the concentration of Vanadium in KDA1 is less which enhances the toughness of it. H13 contains up to 1% of Vanadium while KDA1 has only the maximum of 0.5% of Vanadium.

Definite annealing and heat treatment is also carried to optimize the toughness of KDA1. Tempering is done in the range of 500 – 550 degree centigrade followed by air cooling phases. This causes uniform micro-arraying of the constituents that have negligible impurities. VIRAT SPECIAL STEELS ( INDIA ) adheres to all the standards of KDA1 production and offers the best products.

Why KDA1 is better for hot casting?

Apart from the structural toughness and strength of KDA1, its thermal fatigue resistance capacity also deserves mention and this makes it a perfect choice for hot work dies and moulds. Higher Molybdenum (Mo) content of 1.6% in KDA1 increases it softening resistance to 200% to that of H13. This makes it suitable for high temperature casting applications including of Aluminum metal among others. The thermal expansion factor for KDA1 is less and the thermal conductivity is high as compared to H13. This means that the extent of potential deformation during the hot molding process will be reduced through lesser thermal expansion and greater heat dissipation. These characteristics make KDA1 the better option for making hot casting dies.

DB6 steel – The Best Choice for Metal Forging Based Manufacturing

Steel has transformed the social economic landscape and our affinities with this alloy of iron have become more pronounced with the passage of time. These affinities could be attributed to the salient attributes that steel adores and which make it a preferred choice in multitudes of applications. We can’t even imagine some core activities without steel. No wonder, we have been passionate to gear metallurgical sciences to develop more resonant grades and standards in steel and SS. DB6 (SKT4) steel is a hot work steel that allows making best forging dies. Metals based manufacturing today forms the basis of many secondary and ancillary enterprises and they rely on steel dies. DB6 is the considered the best choice for making the toughened dies in different sizes and dimensions.

Why DB6 apt for making forging dies and molds?

DB6 steel as a choice for making forging molds and dies is due to various characteristics that it has relative to other metals. It is a hot work steel and therefore allows making the molds that are resilient enough against the hot metals that are put in them. The high level annealing and tempering of DB6 (L6) steel causes extreme toughening and hence generates desirable hot working capacity for the forging tasks. The presence of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and vanadium in DB6 alloy generate the extra toughness and very high wear resistance thus making it perfect contender for closed die forgings of entire diversity. The manufacturers of DB6 hardened steel dies ensure that the desirable hardness is delivered to the die. Generally, it is in the range of 370 to 410 HB for round type and 355 to 400 HB for flat/square type.

Custom making of DB6 dies necessary!

Customization in the manufacture of DB6 steel forging dies is equally important function that determines the efficiency and finesse. Unless the custom development of forging die is done, the attributes of DB6 could be of no use for the secondary manufacturer that seeks to achieve dimensional functionality and finesse also in its forged products.
