In compliance with General Motors’s Die Insert Material and Heat Treatment Specification, DC 9999-1. Thermo-Tech has met the stringent equipment, heat treatment, processing and laboratory guidelines established by the specification. As part of the requirements for compliance, a 16 inch cube of Premium Grade H13 certified to the DC-9999-1 material specification, was heat treated, and tested by an independent laboratory to meet a minimum impact toughness, “Charpy V” of 80% of the initial capability test results. As a result of successfully meeting the requirements, Thermo-Tech is now permitted to heat treat die cast die inserts for GM’s tool sources.
