Metallurgy
Requested mechanical properties depends on several parameters as Alloy specifications, microstructure (grain size, fibrous or re-crystallized structure).
But it depends also on the billet quality, extrusion conditions, profile cooling and heat treatment.
MTD assist you in
- alloy and microstructure selection adapted to the final product
- billet quality control and validation of alloy supplier
- extrusion process and extrusion parameter definition
- cooling process (quench)
ageing process
Heat treatment profile
Profile heat treatment process is important to reach the mechanical characteristic required
M-TD offers it expertise to help extruders to identify eventual problems and to optimize the process
Heat treatment Steel
Steel quality of dies is important, but managing well the heat treatment of the die is also important, especially for large dies.
MTD offers it expertise to help extruders to identify eventual problems on dies
MTD helps dies makers to control the quality of their heat treatment process by controlling the equipment and define best practice.
