Hot Forging Die Punches operate under high axial and radial forces, often exceeding 1000 MPa in closed-die applications. Through-hardened core structure with low retained austenite and uniformly distributed carbides provides exceptional dimensional stability. Optimized temper backstops compressive deformation, while residual stress balancing prevents punch head mushrooming under peak loads.
Hot Forging Die Punches frequently encounter adhesion issues during high-temperature metal flow, especially when forming carbon and alloy steels. Surface-engineered layers such as duplex PVD (AlTiN or CrAlN) coatings or nitrided zones create high-surface-hardness barriers with low chemical affinity. These treatments reduce diffusion bonding and metal pickup, thereby preserving punch geometry and surface finish over extended production cycles.
Prolonged exposure to forging temperatures above 1100°C leads to hardness degradation and mechanical property loss. Hot Forging Die Punches are manufactured from steel compositions with high temper resistance and strong secondary hardening effects. Fine alloying with molybdenum and vanadium forms stable carbides that prevent microstructural over-tempering, maintaining core and surface hardness during prolonged hot working conditions.

Applied in shaping high-strength superalloy shafts where thermal resistance and punch stability are critical under forging temperatures above 1000°C.
Utilized in hot forming of large-diameter axles and hubs where deep penetration and wear-resistant punches are essential.
Deployed for forging high-strength bolts and fasteners with uniform grain flow and minimal die wear over high-volume production.
Used in producing forged spindles requiring consistent metallurgical properties and repeatable dimensions over extended forging cycles.
Employed in forming closed-die valve bodies from stainless and duplex steels under high thermal and mechanical stresses.
Applied in shaping planetary and bevel gears used in heavy machinery, demanding high-impact toughness and thermal fatigue resistance.
Severe abrasive wear at the punch-nose interface reduces functional life. Hot Forging Die Punches achieve lower wear rates through uniform carbide distribution, improved surface finish (Ra < 0.2 µm), and optional cryogenic processing. These features enhance wear resistance during extended sliding and impact under hot deformation loads, especially in medium-to-high carbon steels.
Hot Forging Die Punches used in automated high-volume production must retain tolerances over thousands of cycles. Multi-zone heat treatment and sub-zero stabilization eliminate distortion during quenching and tempering. Geometrical integrity is further maintained using pre-machining allowances and post-hardening finish grinding to within ±5 µm profile accuracy.

Frigate uses ESR-grade H13 and H21 tool steels with high molybdenum and vanadium content to resist thermal cracking. Controlled austenitizing and triple tempering improve microstructural stability. Temper resistance is maintained even beyond 600°C operational range. This ensures extended life under cyclic heating conditions.
Frigate machines die punches to profile accuracy within ±5 microns using high-precision CNC grinding. Pre-hardening and post-treatment stabilization ensure dimensional integrity. Final inspection uses coordinate measuring machines (CMM) for critical areas. This reduces mismatch and flash issues during forging.
Frigate applies duplex surface treatments such as nitriding followed by PVD AlTiN or CrN coatings. These layers reduce sticking with carbon and alloy steels. Surface hardness exceeds 2500 HV, minimizing galling and pick-up. This improves surface finish of forged components.
Frigate uses stress-relief annealing and slow heating rates before austenitizing to reduce internal stresses. Punches are fixtured during quenching to maintain straightness. Sub-zero treatment removes retained austenite. The process ensures high dimensional repeatability in production environments.
Frigate designs die punches to handle load profiles exceeding 4000 tons, using high-compression-strength tool steels. Geometry and head design are tailored to absorb impact without mushrooming. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used during design validation. This enables reliable use in automated, heavy-load forging cells.
