Round Die: 7/16-2, High Speed Steel MPN:5978834

A round die is a cutting tool that shapes metal by shearing or compressing the workpiece into the desired form with its matching punch through extrusion, forging, or impression dying process. This round die with a diameter of 7/16-2 and made from high-speed steel provides good wear resistance while ensuring durability in the face of extreme pressure and heat generated during operation, hence ideal for cold heading or upsetting operations. Its flat ground surface assures smooth and accurate movement between the die and workpiece providing a higher quality finished product minimizing scrap and rework, making it suitable for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, hardware manufacturing where precision parts are required with tight tolerances. The high-speed steel material provides toughness that can handle both cold or hot working conditions without losing its dimensional stability. Its robust construction can tolerate the demanding die casting industry where multiple operations at high pressure require regular die changes to maintain productivity.
