Measures against chipping and chipping of molds | DK Cryo Process to extend mold life
Suppressing chipping and damage of molds, leading to a stable mold lifespan. This processing technology is utilized as a countermeasure against chipping and damage in press molds and tools.
In press molds and cutting tools, chipping (nicks) of the cutting edge and early wear are significant challenges. The DK Cryo Process is a deep cooling treatment technology that stabilizes the metal structure by processing materials in an extremely low-temperature environment, achieving: - Suppression of chipping occurrence - Improvement of wear resistance - Enhancement of dimensional stability This contributes to the improvement of the lifespan of molds and tools. It can be applied by adding it after existing heat treatment processes, which is a notable feature as it does not require special equipment modifications for implementation. It is utilized as a performance enhancement technology for parts such as mold components and tools, where durability and stability are required.

basic information
**Three Benefits of the DK Cryo Process** ■ Flexible process adaptation that is not dependent on processing timing Applicable by adding to existing heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering. It can be introduced while minimizing changes to the process. ■ Up to 7 times longer life through verification experiments A wealth of verification data has been accumulated regarding the improvement of mold and tool lifespan. Long life is expected by suppressing chipping and wear. ■ Suppression of dimensional changes within a tolerance range of ±0.01mm Deep cryogenic treatment stabilizes the material structure, reducing dimensional changes during use. *Effects may vary depending on material, shape, and usage conditions. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
