Why Copper Extrusion Mandrels Are So Demanding Few tools in metalworking take this kind of abuse. A copper extrusion mandrel faces heat, pressure, thermal shock, and abrasion — all in the same cycle. It has to hold its shape through every single one. Here’s what...

Introduction: In high-strength hot heading, choosing 1.2365 (32CrMoV12-28) isn’t just a premium upgrade—it is your production insurance policy. When a die face strikes under 1,000 tons while surface temperatures spike to 600°C in milliseconds, standard H13 tool...

Introduction: Every hot shear blade in a rolling mill faces constant punishment — thermal shock, cyclic loading, scaling, and heavy mechanical impact. All of this hits at once, at temperatures that would turn weaker steels soft and useless. Pick the wrong blade...

Introduction: Welding 1.2365 (closest equivalent to AISI H10) steel can humble even seasoned toolmakers. Miss one step in your thermal sequence, and you’re looking at a crack that just cost you hours of work—or worse, a scrapped die insert. The failures...
