Forming: properties of steel, heat treatment, damage mechanisms

Forming: properties of steel, heat treatment, damage mechanisms

Confindustria Canavese, Ivrea - Italy
The AIM Thermal Treatment and Metallography Study Center proposed this Study Day with the aim of providing the most up-to-date knowledge for the design, construction and use of molds. Among the speakers, our technical department manager, Eng. Cristian Viscardi.
The aspects related to the performance of the die and of the respective components have been studied in depth, starting from the properties of the different steels for hot forming, from the selection criteria, to the thermal and thermochemical treatments, to the coating processes which are flanked by modeling and simulation of components.
The reports held by university professors and technicians with proven experience in their fields, provided application details, with references also to the search for anomalies that occur during use, through examples of failure analysis.
The Study Day was aimed at industry experts and operators, design engineers, manufacturers and users of dies and tools.
