Continued

Last article tell the story Asia customer Mr J questioned OTAI did not supply steel 34CrNiMo6 Q+T condition from data of SGS report. I did not reply him that moment.

Next day, when I back to office, I carefully checked BS EN 10343-2009 standard and our steel 34CrNiMo6 SGS report, then understand what happened. If you study this material deeply, you will also have an idea what happened. I paste below email to explain the reason.

Quite appreciate you check my email and SGS report carefully. I guess you should ignore different diameter, different tensile strength standard after QT, and did not noticed I sent you two SGS report for different diameter. Please check attached BS EN 10343-2009 standard and machanical properties table. Our customer purchased Φ55mm,Φ210mm, Φ230mm from us.  

• Φ55mm, tensile strength in standard is 1000-1200MPa, our SGS test result is 1154MPa. Please check table 1.

• Φ210mm&Φ230mm, tensile strength in standard is 800-950MPa, our SGS test result is 936MPa. Please check table 2.

This shipment is absolutely Q+T FOR SURE. Please do not worry about this grade, all our stock is from top 3 China mill, quality is very stable.

What happened next step? You will have conclusion. Yes, Mr J admit he read my email very fast and ignore the material diameters. Mr J decide one container trail order steel 34CrNiMo6 in January 2020. That’s really good beginning in the new year 2020. Looking forward the new business with Mr J.

The quenching crack of mould steel defects：1.shape effect.2.Overheat.3.Decarbonization.4.Improper cooling5.Poor organization of raw materials

The quenching crack of mould steel defects

Causes of quenching and preventive measures are as follows:

1. Shape effect.It is mainly caused by design,such as too small rounded Angle R, improper hole location and bad section transition.
2. Overheat (overheat).It is mainly caused by temperature control inaccuracy or running temperature, process setting temperature is too high, furnace temperature is not equal factors, preventive measures include: maintenance, proofreading temperature control system, correction process temperature, in the workpiece and the bottom plate of the furnace pad, etc.It also cause the crack of mould steel defects
3. Decarbonization.Mainly caused by overheating (or over burning), unprotected heating of the air furnace, small machine allowance, forging or preparation heat treatment residual decarburization layer and other factors, the preventive measures are: controlled atmosphere heating, salt bath heating, vacuum furnace, box type furnace use packing protection or use anti-oxidation coating;Increase machining allowance by 2-3mm.
4. Improper cooling.It is mainly caused by improper coolant selection or supercooling, should master the cooling characteristics of the quenching medium or tempering treatment.
5. Poor organization of raw materials.If the carbide segregation is serious, the forging quality is poor, the preparation heat treatment method is not appropriate, the preventive measures are: adopt the correct forging technology and the reasonable preparation heat treatment system。
Here is some of the mould steel defects，I would like to suggest you to contact me to know more about mould steel,such as 1.2738–1.2344–D2，It will help you with avoiding much trouble.

And I would like to share some chemical information for your reference.

Saudi Arabia Case for 34CrNiMo6 steel

This April, OTAI Steel signed contract with Saudi Arabia tender project which use OTAI 34CrNiMo6 steel. This project is proceed by one of our Asia customer, ender user is a Saudi Arabia tender project. The project will last 3 years. Our customer win the bid for material 34CrNiMo6 steel and 1045 steel. We supply 34CrNiMo6 steel to them, dimension is Φ55mm,Φ210mm, Φ230mm. The first stage they order 9 containers to us, split to 3 batch, 3 containers each batch, each batch they require SGS inspection on site, and inspection standard is EN BS 10343-2009. We finished all three batch this November, each batch fully meet EN BS 10343-2009 standard after SGS inspection.

Story about 34CrNiMo6 steel SGS inspection report

Above mentioned SGS report authority proved our material do not have any quality problem to meet Europe standard, what we provide is China price, Europe quality. For the customer who have quality concern about OTAI material, I will share with them this series SGS report.

This October, OTAI visit one Asia country, to visit our old friend, also explore our business there. Mr J is OTAI Steel’s old friend, who worked for professional steel distributor in Moscow. Mr J’s company purchase tool steel Cr12MoV from us regularly recent years. From the visit, we got know, his company also purchase 34CrNiMo6 steel, but from Europe. We do not talk too much about 34CrNiMo6 steel during the meeting, for above mentioned quality concern.

After back to China, I provide Mr J official quotation. He felt price is attractive, but still no further actions. Then I shared the SGS report and on site inspection photos. That night, I received his email. He seriously point out: According to the report, our material sent to Saudi Arabia project is not Q+T, if Q+T, the tensile strength must be min 1000 MPA, and two heat data is below 1000 MPA. Mr J is very professional at this field, he works as engineer at before. I am not an engineer, can  not explain clearly that moment, but I am sure our 34CrNiMo6 steel have no any problem.

3D printing technology has been out for many years, and I don’t know why it has been so hot recently! 3D printing is a promising technology. We need to treat it correctly. There is no need to exclude it, but it cannot be confused by some artifacts …

In recent years, 3D printing technology has been hyped up. Experts talk about the magic of 3D printing products and declare that the mold steel material industry is in the dead end. What do you think of 3D printing technology?

why do we as steel professionals listen to certain boasts? They don’t even know what the mold steel material is, they just talk about it when they see that 3D printing can make a product. The significance of industrial molds is to achieve high-volume and efficient production, and greatly reduce the production of finished products. 3D printing currently only solves the production of a small number of samples, and its efficiency and cost are not a level compared with mold production.

Although, 3D printing has brought innovation and vitality to the mold manufacturing industry. Because the trial product can be obtained and confirmed in advance through 3D printing, this reduces repeated mold changes after mold opening and the failure of the mold project.

some publicity claims that 3D printing can directly print molds, that is just to show you the principle of presenting molds. It should be said to be a “model”. You can use this model to make some products, but can it be mass-produced. So the mold steel material industry plays an irreplaceable role in mold contribution. 3D printing technology has been out for many years, and I don’t know why it has been so hot recently! 3D printing is a promising technology. We need to treat it correctly. There is no need to exclude it, but it cannot be confused by some artifacts …

Cr12MoV steel has high hardenability. The cross section is 300~400mm. It can be completely hardened. It can still maintain good hardness and wear resistance at 300~400℃.

Cr12MoV can be used to make a variety of molds and tools with large cross-sections, complex shapes and withstanding large impact loads. It is characterized by high wear resistance, hardenability, micro-deformation, high thermal stability, and high bending strength. It is second only to high-speed steel. And Cr12MoV is an important material for a die, cold heading. The consumption ranks first among cold-worked die steels.

In fact, the Chinese market is a mixed and confused. Some unreliable suppliers may be in order to earn high profits, completely disregard and did not consider for the customers at all. And deceive customers with the bad quality. These dishonest behaviors not only disrupt the market. At the meanwhile, it has brought a serious impact on themselves, especially on the end user.

The consequences of purchasing these crudely fabricated Cr12MoV cold work tool steel for end-user are:
1) The microstructure of inferior Cr12MoV die steel is severely segregated. Causes poor processing performance, often encountered difficulties in drilling and tapping.
2) The heat treatment has a large amount of deformation, a high risk of cracking and bending occurs from time to time. It cannot guarantee the stability of the mold size, affect the appearance and even die scrap.
3) The scrap steel refurbished Cr12MoV mold steel has a lot of impurities. It causes the mold to have poor red hardness at high temperatures. The mold hardness decreases quickly, and the knife edge is easily worn.
4) The purity of the mold steel is poor, and there are many non-metallic inclusions. It results in poor impact toughness of the mold, and the knife edge is easy to collapse and drop.

Therefore, we OTAI Special Steel hereby call and expect that all the suppliers can treat every customer honestly. Be responsible to our products, to our reputation and to our customers in the end. Quality should be the basis for all our suppliers to survive. This is the only way we all suppliers can fly higher and go further and farther on this steel road!
