"List of hardware mold steel models - to create a sharp tool in the industry, there is a doorway for material selection"
As we all know, the choice of steel for hardware molds has a crucial impact on the performance and life of the mold. In the face of a dazzling array of steel models on the market, do you feel at a loss and don't know how to choose?Today, we will compile a list of hardware mold steel models for you, so that you can easily understand the characteristics and application scenarios of various steels.
1. Pre-hardened die steel.
H13 (hot-die steel) uses: mostly used in the manufacture of aluminum, zinc, copper alloy extrusion dies and die-casting molds. Characteristics: High hardenability, high hardness, high wear resistance, as well as excellent toughness and fatigue resistance.
SKD61 (Die Steel) Uses: Suitable for manufacturing die-casting molds such as aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, magnesium alloy, etc. Characteristics: High hardenability, high hardness, high wear resistance, as well as excellent toughness and fatigue resistance.
2. Corrosion-resistant die steel.
2205 (duplex stainless steel) uses: suitable for manufacturing molds with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as plastic molds, food molds, etc. Characteristics: excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, high hardness, and good processing performance.
316L (Stainless Steel) Use: It is suitable for manufacturing molds with high corrosion resistance requirements, such as medical device molds, chemical equipment molds, etc. Characteristics: excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, high toughness, and good processing performance.
3. Free-cutting die steel.
Y40MN (Free-cutting Steel) Applications: It is suitable for manufacturing molds with high machinability requirements, such as auto parts molds. Characteristics: excellent machinability, high strength, high toughness, as well as good wear resistance and fatigue resistance.
S55C (Free-cutting Steel) Applications: It is suitable for manufacturing molds with high machinability requirements, such as home appliance molds. Characteristics: excellent machinability, high strength, high toughness, as well as good wear resistance and fatigue resistance.
Fourth, high-toughness die steel.
Z12CR13 (Martinsitic Steel) Uses: It is suitable for manufacturing molds with high toughness requirements, such as glass molds. Characteristics: excellent toughness, high hardness, high wear resistance, as well as good fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance.
5CrmnMO (heat-resistant steel) use: It is suitable for manufacturing molds that work at high temperatures, such as forging molds, etc. Characteristics: Excellent high-temperature strength and toughness, as well as good heat fatigue resistance and oxidation resistance.
