Steels for Forging

Solutions to extend die service life

In forging, dies operate under extreme pressures and very high temperatures, making it essential to select tool steels capable of resisting hot wear, cracking and plastic deformation — factors that directly affect productivity.

Universal Afir supports its customers in the most demanding applications by providing hot-work tool steel specifically developed for forging.

These materials offer high mechanical strength, thermal stability and homogeneity, ensuring longer service life and reducing the need for maintenance downtime.
