You've solved your lamination or laminar file problem, remember to make it permanent. In past newsletters we started conversations regarding how well MetaLLifeÒ can correct lamination or blistering problems encountered by many die casters.

In a nutshell, the compressive stress effect allows the metal to flow much more efficiently, eliminates trapped gases, and offers metal fatigue protection to counter cavitation effect.

Since MetaLLifeÒ is an impaction process, it does not coat or harden the steel.  To keep the benefits

flowing "so to speak", it is necessary  that the surface be protected.

ThermaLLifeÒ diffuses a protective, hard, wear resistant (1200 vickers) surface to lock in the MetaLLifeÒ flow benefit so it does not dissipate after only a few thousand shots.
So the next time you have a lamination problem, remember to use MetaLLifeÒ then make your success permanent by applying the additional protection of ThermaLLifeÒ.

Its not only the topography of the surface but what's under it  that counts.

They are back.  How many die casters remember Lombness Tool in Butler, Wisconsin?

Started in 1949, their marketing strategy has dramatically changed, but their mission remains focused on the die casting industry.

If you need a die repaired or reworked, this is the tool shop you should call.  That's all they do.

They not only have the equipment to handle large tool repairs but also work round the clock to get the job finished as quickly as possible.

Hence their new motto:
"get it done 24/7".

They are only minutes away from Badger so that doing MetaLLifeÒ and/or ThermaLLifeÒ after the repair becomes a one stop operation.

Think how easy it will be to send in your tooling, have it repaired and/or reworked correctly, then protected for the future by applying our treatments. All done without having to ship it back and forth to another location.  A one stop shop that will save you time and money.  A die caster's dream.
