Forging

As with most manufacturing industries today, the forging industry is under continued pressure to increase efficiency and drive down production costs. Increasing the life of forging tools involved with hot working of metals is one way of achieving such efficiencies. The tools must be able to withstand high temperature, abrasive wear and thermal shock.

For these reasons Deloro Wear Solutions alloys are used to hardface critical forging tools, especially those involved in long production runs. Stellite™ alloys are used both in the manufacture of new tools and also the repair of worn to ols.
