What is Mold Steel/Mould Steel/die Steel
?
Mold Steel/Mould Steel/die Steel is used to make injection molds, cold stamping molds, hot forging molds, die casting molds and other molds. Mold is the main processing tool of machinery manufacturing, radio instrument, motor, electrical appliance, industrial production and so on. The quality of the mold directly affects the quality of the pressure processing process, the precision of the product, the output and the production cost, and the quality and service life of the mold are mainly affected by the mold material and heat treatment in addition to the reasonable structural design and processing accuracy.

Process Properties Of Mold Steel/Mould Steel/Die Steel:
Sichuan Liaofu Special Steel Company.,Ltd
01
Mold Steel/Mould Steel/Die Steel raw material preparation
Raw materials mainly include iron, carbon, chromium, molybdenum, cobalt, nickel and other alloying elements, as well as some auxiliary materials such as graphite, silicon, manganese and so on. These raw materials need to be proportioned in order to ensure that the chemical composition of the final product meets the requirements.
02
The melting process
After the raw material has been batched, it needs to be put into the furnace for melting. In the smelting process, it is necessary to control the furnace temperature, furnace pressure and other parameters to ensure that the raw materials can be fully melted and mixed evenly. After the smelting is completed, the resulting molten liquid needs to be purified to remove impurities.
03
Pouring
After purification, the molten liquid needs to be poured into the mold for pouring. During the casting process, parameters such as casting speed and temperature need to be controlled to ensure that the molten liquid can fully fill the mold cavity and does not produce defects such as pores and inclusions.
04
Heat treatment
Heat treatment can improve the structure and properties of the material, the common heat treatment methods include quenching, tempering, normalizing and so on. In the heat treatment process, it is necessary to control the heating temperature, holding time and other parameters to ensure that the material can meet the design requirements of hardness, strength and other performance indicators.
05
Mold Steel/Mould Steel/Die Steel processing
The processing includes two stages of roughing and finishing. Roughing is mainly the cutting, milling, drilling and other processes of the die steel to obtain the preliminary shape and size. Finishing is the grinding, polishing and other processes of the die steel to obtain the final shape and size.
06
Mold Steel/Mould Steel/Die Steel inspection.
The inspection mainly includes appearance inspection, size inspection, chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing and so on. Through the inspection, it can be ensured that the quality of the die steel meets the requirements and can meet the needs of use.
