Plastic mold steel: a list of models and treatment methods that need to be heat-treated.
Introduction: In the manufacturing process of plastic molds, the choice of steel is crucial to the performance and life of the mold. This article will introduce some plastic mold steels that need heat treatment and their treatment methods to help you better select and use suitable steels.
1. H13 steel.
H13 steel is a commonly used plastic mold steel that needs to be heat treated to improve its mechanical properties and hardness. Commonly used heat treatment processes include quenching, tempering, and surface strengthening.
2. 718 steel.
718 steel is a high-performance plastic mold steel with excellent toughness and wear resistance. Commonly used heat treatment processes include quenching, tempering, and high-temperature aging.
3. NAK80 steel.
NAK80 steel is a plastic mold steel with excellent processing properties and toughness. Commonly used heat treatment processes include quenching, tempering, and nitriding.
4. SKD61 steel.
SKD61 steel is a plastic mold steel with excellent toughness and corrosion resistance. Commonly used heat treatment processes include quenching, tempering, and cryogenic treatment.
Summary: The selection of plastic mold steel and heat treatment process have an important impact on the performance and life of the mold. Different plastic mold steels have different chemical compositions, mechanical properties and use occasions. After selecting the appropriate plastic mold steel, it is also necessary to select the appropriate heat treatment process according to the material characteristics to ensure the quality and performance of the mold.
