Description
• THYROTHERM® 2367 SUPRA is an electro slag remelted
(ESR) hot work die steel developed for applications where
high temperature properties (tensile strength & thermal con-
ductivity) are required to resist thermal fatigue and temper-
ing.
Characteristics
• Excellent resistance to heat checking
•
Excellent resistance to wear (erosion & abrasion)
•
Excellent high-temperature strength
•
Good tempering resistance
•
Good toughness
Applications
•
High pressure die casting dies
•
Hot forging dies
•
Hot extrusion tooling
•
Forming dies
•
Plastic molds
•
Mandrels

Tempering (See tempering diagram on page 2)
• Tempering hardness is approximate and based on two hours at
temperature
• In order to achieve faster quench rates, generous radii and ma-
chining stock should be left on during rough machining.
• Optimal heat treatment parameters should be followed to achieve
maximum potential die performance.
• Please contact your Schmolz & Bickenbach heat treat representa-
tive for more detailed in
formation.

• THYROTHERM® 2367 Supra can be welded in an annealed and
hardened condition if machining errors, design changes or minor
cracking have occurred. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) should pref-
erably be used.

Polishing
For highly cosmetic applications, the tool should be heat treated to the
highest hardness possible. Size of the tool will determine the maxi-
mum hardness. A-1 polish is achievable when proper procedures are
followed. A Schmolz & Bickenbach
representative should be con-
sulted when
determining the hardness.
