UDDEHOLM DIEVAR® UDDEHOLM DIEVAR Uddeholm Dievar is a specially developed steel grade by Uddeholm, which provides the best possible performance. The chemical composition and the very latest in production technique make the property profile outstanding. The combination of excellent toughness and very good hot strength gives Uddeholm Dievar a very good heat checking- and gross cracking resistance. The steel is suitable in high demand hot work applications like die casting, forging and extrusion. The property profile makes it also suitable in other applications, e.g. plastics and High Performance Steel. Uddeholm Dievar offers the potential for significant improvements in die life, thereby improving the tooling economy.
