H13 die steel is a commonly used tool steel with excellent heat resistance, wear resistance and impact resistance. It is widely used in mold making and hot work mold applications. The coefficient of expansion is the proportional relationship between the change in length or volume of a material at temperature change and the change in temperature. Understanding the coefficient of expansion of H13 die steel is important for mold design and application.
The expansion coefficient of H13 die steel refers to the proportional relationship between the change in the length or volume of the material and the change in temperature when the temperature changes. The coefficient of expansion is usually expressed in terms of the coefficient of linear expansion and the coefficient of bulk expansion. The coefficient of linear expansion refers to the proportional relationship between the change in the unit length of a material and the change in temperature when the temperature changes, and is usually expressed by . The bulk expansion coefficient refers to the proportional relationship between the change in unit volume and the change in temperature when the temperature changes of a material, and is usually expressed by .
The coefficient of linear expansion and bulk expansion of H13 die steel vary with the change of temperature. Generally speaking, with the increase of temperature, the linear expansion coefficient and bulk expansion coefficient of H13 die steel will increase. This is because an increase in temperature causes an increase in the thermal motion of the atoms inside the material and a decrease in the interaction forces between the atoms, which changes the length or volume of the material.
The values of the linear expansion coefficient and the bulk expansion coefficient of H13 die steel can be obtained by experimental measurement. Generally speaking, the coefficient of linear expansion of H13 die steel is about 11 in the range of room temperature to 6005 10 -6, the volume expansion coefficient is about 125×10^-6/℃。This means that the length and volume of the H13 die steel increase by 11 at an increase in temperature15 10 -6 and 125 10 -6 times.
Understanding the coefficient of expansion of H13 die steel is important for mold design and application. In mold design, it is necessary to consider the dimensional changes caused by temperature changes in the material during use. If the coefficient of expansion is not considered, it may lead to the problem of dimensional deviation or failure of the mold during use. In the mold manufacturing process, heat treatment and processing operations are also required according to the expansion coefficient of the material to ensure that the size and performance of the mold meet the requirements.
In addition, the expansion coefficient of H13 die steel also has a certain influence on the service temperature range of the mold. Since the expansion coefficient of H13 die steel increases with the increase of temperature, the influence of the expansion coefficient of the material on the dimensional stability of the mold needs to be considered when using H13 die steel in a high-temperature environment. If the mold works for a long time at high temperatures, there may be a problem of excessive dimensional changes, which will affect the service life and machining accuracy of the mold.
To sum up, the expansion coefficient of H13 die steel refers to the proportional relationship between the change in length or volume of the material and the temperature change when the temperature changes. Understanding the coefficient of expansion of H13 die steel is important for mold design and application. The linear expansion coefficient and bulk expansion coefficient of H13 die steel vary with the change of temperature, and are generally about 11 in the range of room temperature to 6005 10 -6 and 125×10^-6/℃。In the process of mold design and manufacturing, the influence of the expansion coefficient of the material on the dimensional stability of the mold and the temperature range of the mold needs to be considered.
