What Is Hot Die Tool Steel
Tool chemical manufacturers use hot die tool steel to manufacture tools. Many hot die tool steels are good enough to make tools by chemical manufacturers in the market. It is used in various methods of shaping metals which include stamping, extrusion, drawing, piercing, and so forth. Find the best hot die tool steel if you need it.
A tool made of hot die tool steel has enough hardness after heat treatment, as for metal cutting the HRC of tools is generally 60 above. When under high cutting speed and high-temperature heat conditions, high-quality hot die tool steel can keep the hardness even. Good resistance to wear is another advantage of hot die tool steel. Under great pressure and friction conditions, hot die tool steel can still keep its shape and size unchanged. Hot die tool steel has some strength and toughness, and this makes the tool made of hot die tool steel in the work can bear a heavy load, impact, and vibration, and the bending stress of the complex to ensure the normal use of tools. Because all the tools will be applied to different working conditions, the hot die tool steel also has some other performance, such as mold steel should also have some of the high-temperature mechanical properties, thermal fatigue, thermal conductivity, and wear-resisting corrosion resistance, etc.
The hot die tool steels also have good technological properties besides usability. In order to guarantee the production and use of tools, good thermal pressure processing quality and machining performance are important. The steel processing depends on the quality of the chemical manufacturer. Hardenability is a factor of judging good hot die tool steel. Hardenability means the highest performance of hardness that steel can reach after quenching. Hardenability has something to do with the chemical manufacturer of the carbon steel, especially the content, the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardenability. Its quenching degree means hardness distribution of hardened steel from the surface to the inner. Its quenching degree depends on the chemical manufacturer, pureness, and the grain degrees of steel.
As the hot die tool steel will be used in the manufacturing of different tools, there are certain requirements for the two kinds of performance. The high-quality hot die tool steel decarburization sensitivity must be low for decarburization will lower the hardness. In the same conditions, steel decarburization sensitivity depends on its chemical composition. During heat treatment, the size and shape of the hot die tool steel must be stable. For the hot die tool steel which is used to chemical manufacturer cutter and measuring implement, grind ability is demanded. The grindability is according to the chemical manufacturer, especially vanadium content is important for the grindability.
