1.2738 mold steel

Basic information for 1.2738 mold steel

1.2738 mold steel is a mold steel material produced in accordance with the German DIN standard. It has relatively superior mechanical properties and good processability among similar grades of steel. It is mainly used for processing and production of hot work molds. Among them, plastic molds are the most common . In addition, the special pre-hardening treatment of the steel makes it have a good hardness when it leaves the factory, which can reduce the heat treatment link in the processing and production of normal molds and improve economic efficiency.

1.2738 mold steel is pre-hardened plastic mold steel

1.2738 steel uses advanced mold steel refining technology, which is a Cr-Ni-Mo alloy steel that is vacuum-melted. The steel has excellent polishability and photoetching performance; excellent workability; good wear resistance; large molds have uniform hardness and dense structure; no risk of cracking and heat treatment deformation, no heat treatment required, shortening the mold making cycle; good Surface nitriding property; surface flame hardening treatment can be performed to improve mold surface hardness and wear resistance. Before the mold is quenched, it must be fully softened and annealed. After quenching, temper in time and heat slowly.

Fine-discharge machining at the post-electro-machining stage should be performed with low current and high frequency to avoid damage to the mold. After discharge, the surface of the mold should be ground to remove the “electric spark white layer”, and then tempered at 500 ° C to remove stress.

When grinding the tempered mold, in order to prevent grinding cracks and surface softening, attention should be paid to: adequate cooling; appropriate grinding pressure; reasonable processing technology.

The steel pre-hardened steel has good polishing performance, usually alumina or gypsum polishing. The first is rough polishing, and then polishing with increasingly finer abrasives. The polishing direction of the abrasive must be changed each time. The final polishing time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the surface roughness of the mold.

Nitriding can increase the hardness of the mold surface, improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Although the steel has been pre-hardened, the hardness can be increased by heat treatment.

High Speed Steel –M2 with good quality and high hardness

High temperature mechanical properties of M2 high speed steel

M2 high-speed tool steel was born in 1937. Due to its excellent performance and reasonable price, it is still the most widely used high-speed steel variety. It is often used in the processing of aerospace superalloys, ultra-high-strength steels and stainless steels. A large number of scientific research and production workers are still optimizing their production processes and improving quality performance. This work uses thermal simulation methods to conduct high temperature tensile tests, study the high temperature mechanical properties of M2 high speed steel, and provide a meaningful reference for related M2 steel production.

The raw materials for the test are taken from industrially produced M2 steel round rods (diameter Φ12mm). The chemical composition of the test steel is shown in Table 1 (mass fraction). The raw materials are processed into Φ10mm × 120mm high-temperature tensile test specimens. After the specimens are heated to the test temperature using a Gleeble-3800 testing machine, high-temperature tensile and mechanical performance tests are performed. The test temperature is 1000 ～ 1250 ℃, and the strain rate is 5 × 10-3 / s. The tensile sample was observed by German Leica MEF4M optical microscope. HitachiS-4300 was used for SEM observation and carbide EDS analysis.

The results showed that:

(1) The zero plastic temperature of M2 high speed steel is 1220 ° C, and the zero strength temperature is 1250 ° C.

(2) The good plasticity region of M2 high-speed steel is in the temperature range of 1150 ~ 950 ° C. Within this range, it enters the high-temperature region where the matrix structure is austenite single-phase region, and dynamically recrystallizes to provide good plasticity properties.

(3) The brittle region of M2 high-speed steel is from 1175 ° C to the melting point Ts. This temperature range results in the melting of low-melting eutectic carbides, which significantly reduces the plasticity and strength of the steel.

(4) There is a low-temperature superplastic zone near 800 ℃ for M2 high-speed steel. This zone is the coexistence zone of α + γ two phases of M2 steel. It is worthwhile to pay more attention to the improvement of carbide breakage and uniformity by performing hot working in this zone. Direction.

High Speed Steel –M2 with good quality and high hardness

Is M2 high-speed steel a knife? Main uses of M2 high-speed steel

Recently, enthusiasts of knives asked, how good is M2 high-speed steel for knives?

We all know that high-speed steel is also called wind steel or white steel. An alloy steel containing a large amount of carbon (C), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V) and other elements. The high-speed steel wool material has high heat hardness after cutting, forging, annealing, semi-finished products, quenching, and toothing. When the cutting temperature is as high as 600 ° C or above, the hardness is still not significantly reduced, and the cutting speed of the saw blade can reach more than 60 meters per minute.

There are many ordinary high-speed hacksaw blades, which are not listed here one by one. Take the most commonly used in the market, and one of the most high-speed steel materials sold by our company — M2 high-speed steel.

M2 high-speed steel in China is similar to W6Mo5Cr4V2 (commonly known as 6542, US brand M2). M2 high-speed steel is mainly used for narrow and deep groove processing or cutting of metal materials such as steel, iron, copper, and aluminum. It can also be used for non-metal milling. M2 high-speed steel is one of the best mold materials for milling cutters. .

Tungsten-molybdenum-based high-speed steel M2 high-speed steel has a series of advantages such as fine and uniform carbide distribution, high wear resistance, high toughness and thermoplasticity, and high cost performance. The high-speed steel produced by it, after high-precision quenching, has a hardness of 62 ~ 64HRC, a bending strength of 4700MPa, and a 50% increase in toughness and thermoplasticity than w18Cr4V. Due to the wear resistance, heat resistance, toughness and other aspects of M2 material high-speed steel, the performance is good, and the performance-price ratio is high, which is welcomed by customers.

The main uses of M2 high-speed steel: cold forging dies, fine blanking dies, powder pressing dies, etc., shear dies, plastic dies with glass fiber, etc. Moulds suitable for shock and impact loads: deep-drawing dies, punching dies. Metal cutting saw blades, cold heading and extrusion tools.

In short, I know through some relevant tool stickers and forums that M2 high-speed steel is also used to make kitchen knives or collect knives. However, the practicality is not high. After all, its high hardness and wear resistance make it destined to be not well. Home sharpening. And its cost is generally too high, only suitable for cutter enthusiasts.

Chemical composition (mass fraction,%) of M35 high-speed steel:

C 0.88 ～ 0.95

Mn≤0.40

Si≤0.40

Cr 3.80 ～ 4.50

Mo 4.75 ～ 5.20

V 1.75 ～ 2.00

W 6.00 ～ 7.00

P≤0.030

S ≤0.030

Co 4.60 ～ 5.00.

M35 high-speed steel is mainly used for hobs, broaches, and end mills. It is suitable for manufacturing abrasion-resistant and impact-resistant tools for advanced cutting, advanced dies, screw dies, tools that require toughness and complex shapes, reamer, milling cutter, iron head, punch, etc.

It can be known from the above comparison that M2 high speed steel is higher in cost performance than M35 and has a wider range of applications. And the strength and toughness are better than M35, the oxidation resistance is better. Of course, the disadvantage of M2 high-speed steel is that it is easy to overheat during heat treatment, which requires higher skills and processes to master.
