Steel material for mold is too much, how shall we choose?

The  steel material for mold is too much, how to choose one satisfied your demand? I want to talk about it with you today .hope it is helpful to you.

steel material for mold

The commonly used  steel material for mold can be divided into 4 kinds

1Sweden standard S136、8407、DF-2

2American standard 420 、H13、P20、D2

3Japan standard SKD61、DC53、NAK80、SKD11、SKH-9

4 German standard 1.2379、1.2083、1.2316、1.2344

According to the different requirement, you can pick the steel material for mold fits for you.

S136, 1.2316, 420 and other mold steels are generally selected for highly corrosive plastics, and S136, 1.2316, 420, SKD61, NAK80, PAK90, OT718, etc. can be selected for weakly corrosive plastics. The appearance requirements of the product also have a great impact on the choice of mold materials. Transparent parts and products that require mirror polishing of the surface. The materials available are S136, 1.2316, OT718, NAK80, PAK90, 420. Molds with high transparency requirements should be selected. S136, followed by 420.

300,000 to 500,000 molds use more pre-hardened materials, such as S136H, 1.2316H, OT718H, 1.2083H, etc. P20, OT718, 738, OT618, 1.2311, 1.2711, etc. are used for molds with less than 300,000 times. For ultra-low requirements of the mold can consider using S50C, 45 # steel directly on the mold blank to make the cavity.

Cold work dies steel is mainly used to make molds for press forming of workpieces in a cold state. Such as cold punching die, cold stamping die, cold deep drawing dies, embossing die, cold extrusion die, thread pressing die and powder pressing die. The range of cold-work dies steel is very wide, from various carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, high-speed steel to powder high-speed steel and powder high alloy mold steel.

Hot work dies steel is mainly used to make molds for pressure processing of workpieces under high-temperature conditions. Such as hot forging dies, hot extrusion dies, die casting dies, hot upset dies, etc. Commonly used hot work die steels are: medium and high carbon alloy die steels with alloy elements such as Cr, W, Mo, V added.for special requirements of hot work die steels, sometimes high alloy austenitic heat resistant die steels are used.

Aluminum alloy die-casting molds have higher requirements for materials. Die steel should be selected according to specific mold design requirements. Die-casting molds have high requirements for heat treatment technology. When selecting reliable materials, they must also fully consider heat treatment. The preferred steel is 8418, H13, SKD61, 8407, etc.

OT718 mold steel

OT718  mold steel

1.2738

OT718 plastic mold steel  has excellent mechanical properties and workability, and the processing technology is simple, so it is widely used in mold processing and production industries. In addition, the OT718 mold steel has been pre-hardened to a hardness of 41 ~ 47HRC through a special production process when it leaves the factory, which can reduce the heat treatment link in some projects and improve economic efficiency.

OT718 mold steel, China’s grade 3Cr2NiMo is an improved steel grade in P20 (3Cr2Mo).

The quality has been greatly improved, so that it can fill the shortage of P20 mold steel and meet the occasions where P20 mold steel fails to meet the requirements. In addition to the above-mentioned Chinese standard steel grades, the steel grades currently appearing in China’s mold steel market include P20 + Ni. So in addition to not being used for plastic mold parts with corrosion resistance requirements, it is currently the most widely used general plastic mold steel typical steel grade. It is often called “advanced” plastic mold steel, and the newly developed new steel grades often take it as a typical comparison.

Delivery status: Steel is delivered in annealed condition. After agreement between the two parties, it can also be delivered without annealing.

OT718 steel is pre-hardened, and the material is uniform. The cleanliness is high. It has excellent polishing performance and photolithography. It also has high hardenability, good electrical processing performance and skin texture processing performance. Pre-hardened steel can be used in the mold cavity without quenching, and the flange can be flame hardened to increase the hardness to 52HRC.

The steel has good machinability and wear resistance, and the hardness distribution is uniform. It also has good polishing performance, simple processing technology and moderate price, so the amount is large.

China’s GB standard steel number 3Cr2NiMo; German DIN standard material steel number 1.2738;American AISI / SAE standard steel number P20 + Ni; Japanese JS standard steel number SNCM optimization; ISO Standard No. 35CrMo2.

OT718 mold steel uses the same as P20 type mold steel, but because of better hardenability and better performance, it can make large-sized, high-grade plastic mold forming parts. With the development of plastic molds, there will be more and better updated improved mold steel numbers, such as B30H of Baosteel in China.

1.2738 mold steel

1.2738 mold steel

Basic information for 1.2738 mold steel

1.2738

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.

Soft annealing

The annealing temperature is 710 ~ 740 ° C, and the heat preservation time is determined by 1h per 25mm wall thickness. After the heat preservation, it is cooled with the furnace.

Destress

The heating temperature is 600 ° C (annealed state), 550 ° C (quenched and tempered state). The heat preservation time is determined as 1h per 50mm wall thickness. After the heat preservation, it is cooled with the furnace.

Quenching and tempering

Preheating temperature is 500 ~ 600 ° C, quenching temperature is 840 ~ 880 ° C, heat preservation is 30min (the mold must be quenched in a protective atmosphere to avoid oxidation and decarburization). Oil-cooled, cooled to 50 ~ 70 ° C, and tempered immediately.

Tempering and holding time is determined according to the thickness of the workpiece 1h every 25mm, at least 2h. Tempering temperature 180 ° C / 200 ° C /

300 ° C / 400 ° C / 500 ° C / 600 ° C, hardness 52HRC / 51HRC / 48 HRC / 46HRC / 42HRC / 34HRC.

Induction hardening

The steel can be surface-hardened to 50HRC by flame or induction hardening, and air-cooled after hardening. Small modules can use general quenching medium. After hardening, they should be tempered immediately. The tempering temperature is 180 ~ 200 ° C.
