Will H-13 w/ TL out perform Anviloy?
Anvilloy, because it is a tungsten alloy material, does not contain any iron and will not solder. It is totally resistant to the intermetallic attraction of the molten aluminum in die casting. Recent 2002 tests at Case Western have shown that Anviloy outperformed all of the test steels without any treatment process applied. One must consider cost, machining, size limitations, and brittleness of Anviloy steel when deciding on this material. ThermaLLife when tested on H-13 material showed significant improvement over untreated tool steel.
