Overview of Die Ace for Dies
Die Ace is a specialized copper alloy casting developed for draw dies in press stamping. It is known for its high hardness and durability, functioning smoothly without lubrication in challenging conditions where scoring or seizure might occur.

Features
  • Metal Microstructure: Composed of Cu, Al, Mn, Fe, and Ni, with Cu, Al, and Mn forming the main structure. Fe enhances the fine structure, while Ni improves corrosion resistance.
  • Physical Properties: Die Ace allows for precision casting with minimal machining allowance, reducing manufacturing time. It offers excellent wear resistance and lubrication, extending die life and reducing the draw process. It also has good heat conductivity and sliding properties, preventing scoring on panels or dies.

Material Specifications
  • SO390: Excellent for cutting, wear resistance, and self-lubrication.
  • SO350: Highly hardened, suitable for forming stainless steel or high-strength steel.
  • SO330: Good for welding and is the most popular material.

Mechanical Properties
Die Ace materials have specific machining conditions, with SO390 suitable for dry machining and SO350/SO330 for wet machining. Detailed machining conditions are provided for various processes like drilling, milling, and tapping.

Applications
Die Ace is versatile, used in automotive dies, kitchenware, air conditioners, electric appliances, heavy electric machines, washing and water equipment, roll forming dies, and forming dies for steel pipes.

Ordering Information
Orders require a casting wood pattern or polystyrene foam pattern. Finish allowance and shrinkage details are specified. Special electrodes for welding SO330, 350, and 390 are available, and inquiries can be directed to the nearest sales office.

Die Materials-1

Outline of Die-Ace for Dies Die Ace is a material developed for draw dies for press stamping. It is a highly hardened special copper alloy casting. Die Ace can smoothly function without lubrication in harsh areas where scoring or seizure may occur. This die material (1) Since the material is a special copper alloy casting which can be built to precision, a desired shape can be designed and machining allowance is small. This can accordingly reduce the manufacturing hours. (2) Since Die Ace is excellent in wear resistance and lubrication, the die life can be extended and the draw process can be reduced. (3) Since Die Ace has good heat conductivity and sliding property. There is no scoring on panels or SO390 - The material is good for cutting and is excellent in wear resistance and self-lubrication. SO350 -The material is highly hardened and is suitable for forming stainless steel or high strength steel. SO330 - The material is good for welding. It is the most popular material. Die Ace is an aluminum bronze casting consisting of 5 elements; Cu, Al, Mn, Fe and Ni. The main structure consists of 3 elements; Cu, Al and Mn. With addition of Fe, a fine structure is achieved. With addition of Ni, corrosion resistance is improved.
