NEW Sample MetaLL ifeÒ aluminum casting from 47-48Rc die casting insert

Request Casting/s

We are pleased to advise that we can now supply you with Badger Metal Tech – MetaLL ifeÒ - aluminum casting samples showing the 10 processes that we currently supply to the die casting industry on a sample specimen actually made from a treated die casting die.  These castings reflect the various topographies that may be expected based on a 47-48Rc tool steel hardness since they were cast with a die having the respective hardness.   The cover side of this tool (compressive topography side) was made from H-13 material while the ejector side (MetaLL ifeÒ Logo side) was purposely produced from P-20 material.   A visual examination will show how rapidly this run of only 5000 pcs has caused heat checking to develop on the P-20 side which was not MetaLL ifeÒ protected.

The T-41 and T-41H are the most requested processes.

The "T-40H and T-41H" spec on  this casting  was developed  for those  instances  where a  very high  degree of compression and depth are desired.  This also results in significant topography to the die even at 47-48Rc.  Not all die  configurations will lend themselves to this high intensity process.

We encourage you to show these sample castings to your customers or use them to help determine your future MetaLL ifeÒ requirements.  You can paint, polish, buff, or finish them to determine which "T" process would be most acceptable for your casting and customer requirements.
