Compared to cast steel, it has a lighter specific gravity and less replacement, allowing for a material weight reduction of over 10%! The near-net shape reduces the amount of machining required.
Are you struggling with reducing material costs for cast steel products? Since cast steel requires the installation of a large pouring system, it is fundamentally unable to achieve shape formation on the back side, leading to unavoidable machining operations. Our brand "Hi-Duc/Hi-Duc2" has been developed as a "material for large thick-walled molds" suitable for large die-casting molds, and particularly "Hi-Duc2" possesses strength comparable to cast steel due to improvements in graphite particle size and the addition of special elements, despite being a casting. This material allows for near-net shape formation on both sides, unlike cast steel, which can eliminate machining operations. "Hi-Duc/Hi-Duc2" offers various advantages unique to castings. ⇒ Please download the catalog to view more details about this material.

basic information
**Features of "Hi-Duc/Hi-Duc2"** Due to its uniform structure and hardness from the surface to the depth, there is no bending during hole processing, and successful refinement of graphite and strengthening of the base structure have resulted in no internal defects. Furthermore, its tensile strength and elongation are comparable to cast steel, providing various advantages unique to castings, such as "significant reduction in material costs," "shortened delivery times," and "reduced processing time due to improved machinability." **About Sugiyama Co., Ltd.** The casting industry occupies a very important part of the raw materials sector in all industrial structures. At our Fuji factory, we primarily cast die holders for die-casting molds, as well as castings for resin molds, press molds, and various industrial machine parts. Our products are custom-made, allowing for a wide variety of shapes, with a maximum product weight of up to 13 tons. Additionally, to meet our customers' further needs, we have an attached processing factory equipped with 16 machining centers, both large and small. As a technical company that achieves high quality and rapid delivery through the full mold casting method, we have established an environment for integrated production from foam models to casting and machining, striving to create products tailored to our customers' needs.
