Anviloy® 1150

Anviloy® 1150 Bar stock

Anviloy® 1150 combines high thermal conductivity with a low coefficient of expansion to create a unique material that resists thermal fatigue in most applications. Its high melting point reduces solubility in molten metal, which eliminates soldering and erosion. The addition of alloying elements by powder metallurgy techniques increases ductility and makes the material easily machined by conventional techniques. This thinking resulted in the development of Anviloy® 1150.

IBG Group of Companies exclusively manufactures Anviloy® 1150, a machinable tungsten-based material. The company produces it using the same proprietary recipe developed 60 years ago, primarily for die-casting, aluminum permanent molding, and difficult extrusion dies. A special high-temperature powder metallurgy process creates material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity, and strong material properties at elevated temperatures. This combination delivers superior performance across various applications and reduces thermal fatigue in casting and extrusion dies.

Characteristics of Anviloy® 1150

Anviloy® 1150 delivers high resistance against dilution, maintains high hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, provides good thermal conductivity and tempering resistance, and machines easily. These unique high-temperature properties make it the logical choice for extrusion die inserts and core rods.

Benefits of Anviloy® 1150

Anviloy® 1150 reduces corrosion and erosion, increases form stability, improves dimensional stability, enables quick heat removal, minimizes heat checks, reduces soldering, and can be pressed into various near-net shapes to reduce tooling costs and raw material waste.

Typical applications include:

• Die Cast tooling
• Extrusion Dies
• Hot Runner Nozzles
• Plastic Injection molds
• Boring Bar vibration & chatter reduction
• Tooling with high elongation issues
• Improves tooling thermal conductivity
• Shop Sleeve material

Material features:

• Resists soldering (reduces sticking)
• Reduces thermal fatigue (prevents heat checking)
• Maintains low erosion rates
• Machines readily
• Requires no heat treatment
• Welds easily with Anviloy® weld rod
• Contains less material porosity in heavy sections
• Maintains high temperature strength

Through these features, the die caster or extruder can expect:

• Longer die life and core pin life
• Less production down time
• Improved product surface finish
• Fewer rejects
• Lower cost per piece
• Better surface finish on products
• Greater equipment utilization (less down time)
• Faster cycle times

Die casters and extruders face their most expensive replacement item in the die itself. Metal erosion determines its life as material processes through the die. Hot work tool steels perform well in many applications, but their life decreases rapidly in brass and aluminum die castings and extrusion applications. IBG developed Anviloy® 1150 specifically for these higher temperature applications. Anviloy® 1150 tooling significantly improves erosion resistance, thermal fatigue, and soldering while dramatically reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Anviloy® 1150 is stocked in sizes of ½” – 4” diameter x 12” long. Do you have a complex shape or design? If so, near net sizes and shapes can be designed eliminating unnecessary material and therein reducing overall cost. Custom sizes and shapes are readily available (4-8 weeks).

Anviloy® Weld Rod, a tungsten based TIG welding filler metal, is used to repair hot work tool steel.

Other Anviloy® tungsten material is available as rod or wire. It is stocked in the following sizes:

Diameters – 1/16”, 3/32”, 1/8”

Lengths – 7”, 12”, and 18”

The Weld Rod is ordered in increments of 10 pieces.

All weld rod is in stock for same day shipment.

Custom Anviloy 1150 sizes are available.
