Making Power Hammer Dies for Black Beard Projects - with Lock Mechanism 2160p_25fps_AV1-128kbit_A

In this video Im going to make new poer hammer dies for Black Beard Projects. He asked me if I can make him a pair of new dies for his new power hammer to make damascus. We decided to make them out of 1.2344 H13 steel which is perfect for this kind of application. Its heat treatable and will be perfect to use with high temperatures when forging steel. The top die also has a lock mechanism included so the key cant fall out if it should come loose while working and destroy the piston. The heat treatment and especially the tempering of this steel was quite special. I made two tempering cycles at 600C for two hours. This high tempering temperature will make sure that the abilities of the steel wont change if it gets hot while working up to 600C. I wrapped them in stainless steel foil for the hardening so the dies will be sealed from oxigen to reach the part this will pervent building scale. The parts only turned black because of the high tempering temperature which I later removed by sandblasting them with glass beads. I really liked the look of the sandblasted parts so I left them like that and shipped them to Black Beard Projects. Be sure to check his video of our collaboration to see the dies in action.
