This year, Nitrex takes center stage with a presentation that promises practical insights into the treatment of extrusion dies, providing solutions for industry challenges. Titled “Understanding Aluminum Extrusion Die Heat-Treating and Nitriding to Reduce Failures and Lower Tooling Costs”, Jack Kalucki, Technical Advisor at Nitrex, will guide attendees towards actions aimed at enhancing die life and performance while mitigating tooling costs.

The presentation will focus on the considerations for heat-treating aluminum extrusion dies, emphasizing the importance of vacuum hardening and the strategic application of nitriding. By exploring best practices and technologies for heat treatment, we aim to offer participants the knowledge necessary to better understand and minimize die failures, enhance die life, reduce tooling costs, unscheduled press stops, and improve profile quality.

Key takeaways from the session will include:

• Gain insights into understanding heat-treating, nitriding, and die failures.
• Learn techniques to achieve the perfect nitrided case.
• Understand the impact of compressive stress distribution on die longevity.
• Discover strategies to prevent costly defects.
