CS Heavy Forgings manufactures DB6 forged die blocks and drawing-specific tooling blanks for closed-die forging, hammer and press tooling, support blocks and demanding hot-work applications.
DB6 is used in the Indian tooling market for tough hot-work die-block applications and is commonly associated with nickel-chromium-molybdenum die steels. Because commercial equivalence claims can vary, every enquiry should state the exact governing standard, chemical requirements, delivery hardness and heat-treatment condition.
Review the broader steel grades for heavy forgings guide before comparing material families. Final selection remains the responsibility of the purchaser or component designer and must follow the complete drawing and specification.
Target applications
- Closed-die forging blocks
- Hammer and press-forging dies
- Hot-work tooling blanks
- Support, bolster and heavy tooling components
Custom forging and supply options
Enquiries can be reviewed for as-forged, heat-treated, rough-machined or finished-machined supply according to the drawing. State the required material condition, machining allowance, tolerances, surface requirements and inspection stage when requesting a quotation.
Relevant CS Heavy Forgings capabilities include forged flats and die blocks, die-forging industry components, quality control and testing.

Frequently asked questions
What is DB6 steel mainly targeted for?
DB6 is primarily targeted at tough hot-work die blocks and forging-tool applications rather than general shafts or crankshafts.
Can DB6 be quoted using only the grade name?
A reliable quotation should include the complete standard, chemistry or equivalent designation, drawing, delivery hardness, heat treatment, machining, testing and quantity.
