A Newly-developed High Wear Resistant Cast Hot-forging Die Steel

抄録

The alloying design of the cast hot-forging die steels was analyzed. The key property and parameters for the alloying design were selected. The cast hot-forging die steel with high wear resistance was developed through optimizing the parameters. The wear resistance of the newly-developed cast die steel was evaluated in comparison with commercial H13 steels and 3Cr2W8V steel. The wear mechanism is also discussed. The newly-developed cast die steel takes VC as predominant carbide with solid solution strengthening of Cr and Mo. The cast die steel was found to have significantly lower wear rate than normal H13 steel and 3Cr2W8V steel, and almost the same wear rate as high-purified H13 steel. The high wear resistance of the new-developed cast die steel could be attributed to the reasonable alloying design and no sensitivity to detrimental function of S and P. Under the elevated-temperature air at 400°C, the wear for the cast die steels and commercial hot-forging die steels is a typical oxidation wear.
