S140RAdvanced Steel for High-Performance Hot-Work Applications
SITHERM S140R boasts exceptional thermal conductivity and robust toughness within the standard hardness range for hot-work applications. This makes it an ideal choice for various high-demand industries. Its primary applications include the production of dies and pressure casting inserts for non-ferrous metals and alloys, hot stamping tools for shaping and heat-treating high-strength sheet materials, and forging dies along with their components. SITHERM S140R also excels in the manufacturing of extrusion dies and other areas requiring high thermal conductivity, such as plastic molding.

Product advantages
SITHERM S140R features:
- Higher thermal conductivity
- Improved machinability
- Low deformation and distortion during quenching
- Simple single step tempering treatment
Faster cooling of die casting tools has the following benefits:
- Shorter die closing time (faster solidification)
- Shorter time of external cooling time (spray cooling)
- The amount of lubrication required (enables micro lubricating
- Less pollution due to die lubrication
- Longer tool life due to higher thermal fatigue resistance
Die forging tools for press forging made from higher thermal conductivity materials:
- Have a lower tool contact temperature
- Reduced softening and wear of the tool surface
Applying SITHERM S140R reduces the total cost of the die casting due to increased productivity and tool life. In applications such as die forging and hot stamping the advantage may be found in less deformation and wear of the tool surface due to lower heating of the tool whereas during extrusion a higher thermal conductivity may act favorably by reducing speed cracking or enable better temperature control and distribution.
