EVERGREEN has created a series of webinars that present information on die failure mechanisms, die steel and heat treatment criteria, operational factors that influence die life, die care and maintenance, and new technologies for extending die life.
This three part series was developed to introduce the concept increasing the life of your tool. The series, presented by NADCA's Director of Research, Education & Technology, Steve Udvardy, will help you understand the various aspects associates with increasing die life. The following information will be presented in the remaining two webinars:
Part 2
Influence of Process Parameters and Maintenance on Die Life - There are many factors that influence die life. This webinar will address die spray operation, die temperature, cycle time, and other factors have an impact on die life. Information on care and maintenance of dies will be presented as this is also an important aspect of extending die life.
Part 3 Influence of Process Parameters and Maintenance on Die Life - There are many factors that influence die life. This webinar will address die spray operation, die temperature, cycle time, and other factors have an impact on die life. Information on care and maintenance of dies will be presented as this is also an important aspect of extending die life.
Applying New Technologies - There are new technologies that can greatly assist in extending the life of dies. New technologies include: new coatings, high thermal conductivity materials, new die steels that allow for closer cooling line placement, and computer controlled cooling line water flow. This webinar will provide an overview of each and how they are applied to increase die life
