What is Die Steel
Die steel is an indispensable material and technical basis in the mold manufacturing industry, and its performance directly affects the service life of the mold, the manufacturing cycle and the quality of the finished product.
1.Hardness: Hardness is one of its main technical indicators. The hardness of cold working steel remains around HRC60 at room temperature. This ensures high wear resistance and deformation resistance; According to its working conditions, the hardness of hot work steel is generally required to remain in the range of HRC40~55. This balances its hardness and toughness.
2. Wear resistance: The mold needs to withstand considerable compressive stress and friction in the work, so the die steel must have high wear resistance. This ensures that the mold can maintain its dimensional accuracy and shape stability under strong friction. Steel with good wear resistance can significantly extend the service life of the mold. In addition, it can also reduce the frequency of replacement and reduce production costs.
3. Toughness: The mold is often subjected to impact load during use, so the steel must have a certain toughness. This can reduce damage in the form of breaking, chipping, etc., during use. Reasonable composition design and heat treatment process can make this steel maintain high hardness at the same time, but also have good toughness.
What is Tool Steel
Tool steel is a kind of steel with high hardness, high wear resistance and high toughness. It can manufacture cutting tools (such as drills, milling cutters, turning tools), molds (such as stamping dies, injection molds), measuring tools (such as gauges, calipers), and certain parts for special industrial purposes. According to the specific application scenarios and needs, it can be further subdivided into different types, such as carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, high-speed steel and powder metallurgy high-speed steel.
Characteristics of tool steel:
High hardness: can resist cutting and wear, extend the service life of the tool.
High wear resistance: Shape and dimensional accuracy can be maintained even under prolonged, high-intensity use.
Good toughness: it is not easy to break or damage under high impact load.
Thermal stability: It can maintain its hardness and strength under high temperature environment.
