For Hot Forming and Forging operations, increasing Tool Life and producing quality parts at a lower cost is the “Ultimate Goal”. Achieving that goal is dependent upon controlling the metallurgical properties of the Forge/Hot Form Tooling to prevent wear, softening, thermal fatigue and heat checking. DYNA-BLUE provides those properties cost effectively!!!

DYNA-BLUE® BENEFITS

• 2-10 times increase in tool life due to 75+ HRC compound layer compared to 60-65HRC diffusion zone for Ion Nitride. (Click here for Microstructure of DYNA-BLUE vs Nitride)
• Compound zone resists heat checking, thermal fatigue, thermal softening (temper resistant) and wear.
• Increased resistance to cracking due to increased residual compressive stress, which is the opposite of a tensile stress that initiates cracking. (Click here to see X-ray diffraction test)
• Reduces coefficient of friction=better material flow.
• DYNA-BLUE penetrates holes, bores while Ion Nitride does not as Ion Nitride is “line of sight”.
• Maintains excellent micro-finish, no post polishing needed as other nitriding processes do.
• Increases lubricity= better release
• Oxide layer that retains lubricants, enhances corrosion resistance and promotes material free flow.
• More uniform heating, less risk of  distortion
• Enhanced die repair and weldability (Click here for testimonial about welding)
• Capacity 75” x 120” or 30,000 lbs.
• Overnight service available
