The theoretical weight of 4140 steel is the weight calculated from the nominal size and density of the steel (formerly known as specific gravity).

The theoretical weight of 4140 steel is the weight calculated from the nominal size and density of the steel (formerly known as specific gravity). This is called the theoretical weight. This is directly related to the length, cross-sectional area, and tolerance of the steel. Due to the allowable deviation of the steel in the manufacturing process, the theoretical weight and actual weight calculated by the formula are somewhat different, so it is only used as a reference when estimating.

Actual weight of 4140 steel

The actual weight of steel refers to the weight obtained by the actual weighing (weighing) of the steel, which is called the actual weight. Actual weight is more accurate than theoretical weight.

Calculation method of steel weight

(1) Gross weight is the symmetry of “net weight”, which is the total weight of the steel itself and the packaging material. The transportation company calculates the freight based on gross weight. However, the purchase and sale of steel is calculated based on the net weight.

(2) Net weight is the symmetry of “gross weight”. The gross weight of the steel minus the weight of the packaging material, that is, the actual weight, is called the net weight. In steel purchase and sale, it is generally calculated by net weight.

(3)Tare The weight of 4140 steel packaging materials is called tare.

(4) Weight ton The unit of weight used when calculating freight based on the gross weight of steel. Its legal unit of measurement is ton (1000kg), as well as long ton (1016.16kg in English weight units) and short ton (907.18kg in American weight units).

(5) Billing weight Also known as “billing ton” or “freight ton”. The weight of the steel charged by the transportation department. Different shipping methods have different calculation standards and methods. For railway vehicle transportation, the marked weight of the truck used is generally used as the billing weight. Road transport charges freight based on the tonnage of the vehicle. Less-than-truckload for railways and highways is based on a gross weight of a few kilograms, which is charged at a minimum.

The coronavirus is the hottest issue all over the world .compared with the February, the epidemic is under-control now in china. our government takes a lot of measures to resume the development of economic.

Will the steel industry be affected by the epidemic? I don’t think so.

As reported, 90 key railway projects in China resume construction. with 199,000 people starting working at the construction sites in question, as announced by China Railway Corporation (CRC).

Meanwhile, CRC is actively promoting preliminary work at other major railway projects. including the Sichuan-Tibet railway, the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway.  the Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway is also included. CRC is pushing to start construction on such projects as early as possible.

Meanwhile, CRC has run 115 special trains to transport workers.It transporting 123,000 people to go back to work. Railway passenger traffic in China has risen each day since February 20.thus providing solid support for the resumption of production in China. because the shortage of labor is the biggest problem facing the industry in China at the moment.

Previously, China’s Ministry of Finance announced that it will carry out a proactive fiscal policy to support the construction of key projects.It will boost demand for steel. So the steel industry will not be affected by the epidemic .the demand for steel will be increasing soon.

After analyzing the statistics of the crude steel production I mentioned before, we can find that steel production in China still keeps increasing.

Otai Steel supplies a wide range of carbon, alloy, and stainless steel products. including high-speed tool steel, cold works tool steel, hot works tools steel, plastic mold steel, engineering steel and machine structural steel, etc.

After almost 20 years of development and growth, Otai Steel becomes one comprehensive special steel factory, stockist and exporter. If you want to know more about us, please feel free to connect with me.

H13 application –chapter 10

heat treatment of H13 steels are decarburization, superheating, And also make the mold surface gets residual tensile stress. H13 steel will make the mold get failure early. If the temperature of H13 steel some parts of grinding surface up to over 800℃, and not make it cool fully. Then the material of the surface layer will be re-austenize.

1. And quenching into martensite. So the surface layer of the die for H13 steel  will get high stress. At the same time, that H13 STEEL  will make the possibility of getting grinding crack be higher. The technology of heat treatment Taking the heat treatment in the right way will make the mold get what it needs about the properties and raise the time of working. But if do h13 steel  in the wrong way, it will cause the defects of heat treatment. H13 steel will harm hugely to its load capacity. The defects of hdehiscence, strength is not enough and etc. After a period of time of use, the internal stress accumulates to a damage level. It must do a work of strain relief tempering. If not, it will dehiscence during work time.

The use and care of H13 steel die

1. The preheat of steel mold H13 steel has high content alloy elements and its thermal conductivity is bad. So it must fully preheat before the use. The temperature of preheating too high, then the temperature of the mold will be higher during the work. And its strength will get down, it will easy to get plastic deformation then make the surface subsides. However, if the temperature of the preheating is too low, the temperature of the surface has a big change. With high heat stress, get the crackle is more easily. The temperature of preheating for H13 steel mold is at the range of 250-300℃.
3. H13 steel that can reduce the temperature difference between the mold and the forgeable piece to avoid excessive thermal stress on the surface of the mold, and effectively avoid the plastic deformation of the mold surface.
