If your work involves die casting, extrusion or other high-temperature tooling applications, you know the challenges of working in an extreme environment. It’s hard to keep everything up and running—most materials just can’t cut it. Fortunately, Mi-Tech Metals’ high-density alloys can stand the heat.

Our tungsten alloys (particularly our HD17.7 Diemitech® product) can withstand just about anything you can dish out. With high-thermal conductivity (three to four times that of steel), and low-thermal expansion (one-third that of steel), it’s an excellent choice for high-heat applications. Diemitech:

  • resists erosion, scaling, chipping and breakage
  • minimizes soldering and heat checking is machinable, similar to gray cast iron
  • withstands thermal shock
  • doesn’t require costly heat treatment (tools can be placed into service as machined)
  • maintains superior physical properties at high temperatures

If you’re interested in producing high-quality products with less downtime, contact a Mi-Tech Metals professional to bring the benefits of our high-density alloys to your business.
