DESIGN TYPE DESCRIPTION RECOMMENDED APPLICATION
STANDARD • premium hot-work steel in combination with NITOP
nitrided surface provides high resistance to high
temperatures, erosion, and washing phenomena
• cooling ring and cooling channels can be included
• lower production series and economy production
OPTIMUM • specially developed working-surface layer on
premium quality hot-work steel
• Improved resistance to high temperatures, erosion,
and washing phenomena
• cooling ring and cooling channels can be included
• applicable to moderate production series with
improved performance compared to STANDARD
quality sleeves
PREMIUM • highest quality tool steel and specially developed
heat-treatment and surface-treatment processes
• highly resistant to both gross cracking and thermal-
fatigue cracking caused by cyclic thermal loading
during operation
• cooling of the pour zone is recommended. Cooling
channels are included in PREMIUM shot sleeve
• extreme exposure to thermal fatigue loading
• high volume production requires PREMIUM line shot
sleeves to reduce costs of production downtime
and maintenance - reduced costs of production
downtime and maintenance, thus assuring good
price to performance ratio
MULTIX MULTIX with Passive Thermal Regulation system
improves temperature homogeneity over the sleeve
circumference. Main benefits are:
• significant reduction of axial sleeve bending
• prevented excessive ovalization of the bore hole
• reduced temperatures in the surface beneath the
pour zone, thus improving resistance to erosion and
washing failure
• extreme exposure to thermal fatigue loading
• long shot sleeves in high volume production. lt
also assures prolonged in-service life of casting
pistons - reduces costs of production downtime
and maintenance, thus assuring good price to
performance ratio
WX • WX shot sleeve is developed to solve particular
failure mechanisms resulting from extreme
operating conditions
• WX is fabricated as an individual application in
collaboration with customer
• WX is fabricated using highest quality surfacing
alloys and advanced weld surfacing
