diffusion of ceramic into tool steel for warm forging
(OP)
I'm intereted in using the ceramic diffusion process in my warm forging net shape forging I use H13 and I'd like to know who i could contact so as to try improving my die life and lubricity through this process. Anyone know who I could contact on more info?





RE: diffusion of ceramic into tool steel for warm forging
There are many factors that determine if ceramic is a good match for your operation; as well as type of lubricant. The more information given, the better the assistance. Are you looking to have someone examine your forging process?

I forge 1100 degree c, 44mm, 1000 gram,.35 carbon steel.
I use a 100% soluble sodium hydroxide base lubricant.
I had heard of a company called Refmet that say they can diffuse the steel into the substrate of the entire die. Is this really possible? Thanks for your reply.

I am familier with diffusion of ceramic into metal. But, without seeing a photo-micrograph it is hard to say if they use the term as you or I would. Another thing to consider is if you have ceramic and steel married that way and the metal moves under a heavy forge load, will the cermamic move too much and fail? There are other ways to increase tool life.
I contacted those fellows over seven years ago, same web-site. I don't remember the specifics but it didn't go further than the first phone call.
If you want to move on with this I can leave a link, can you tell me the day and a time window that you plan to log-in?

For simple clarity, a move off the forum would be better for me; no doubt for you as well. I found that a small website was pretty easy to create and added it to my signature. For more information look below. Where the link ultimately ends with an email. After much thought, this is the best I can do for now.
