Cold Work Tool Steel

Performance Profile

1. High hardness: cold work tool steel has a very high hardness after proper heat treatment. This is the basic requirement for its use as a cold working tool. The high hardness allows the tool to work under high loads without abrasion.

2. High wear resistance: Because cold working tools often have friction with the workpiece when working, it is required to have good wear resistance to extend the service life of the tool.

3. Good toughness: Although hardness is the basic requirement of this steel, toughness is equally important. Good toughness ensures that the tool is not easily broken or damaged when subjected to impact or vibration.

4. Excellent machinability: Steel should have good machining performance and be easy to cut and grind, so as to create molds and tools with complex shapes and high precision.

Operating Points

1. Select the right steel grade: Select the right steel grade according to the specific working conditions and requirements. For example, for occasions requiring high wear resistance and hardness, you can choose high-carbon, high-chromium letenite steel; For occasions requiring better toughness and wear resistance, medium carbon alloy steel can be selected.

2. Heat treatment: Heat treatment is a very critical step in the manufacturing process of this type of steel. Through proper quenching, tempering and other heat treatment processes, the hardness, wear resistance and toughness of steel can be adjusted to meet the requirements of use.

3. Machining: In the manufacturing process, it is necessary to carry out machining operations such as turning, milling, grinding, etc., in order to obtain molds and tools that meet the requirements of shape and size.

4. Surface treatment: In order to improve the service life and performance of molds and tools, sometimes surface treatment is required, such as carburizing, nitriding, etc. 5. Use and maintenance: In the process of use, pay attention to reasonable use and maintenance to avoid excessive wear and damage. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the normal operation of molds and tools.

Applications of Cold Word Tool Steel
1. Cutting and stamping tools: This steel, with its high hardenability and knife-holding properties, makes it the preferred material for cutting and stamping tools.
2. Thread tools and molds: It is suitable for manufacturing thread tools, thread molds, etc., for thread processing.
3. Plastic mold: Cold work tool steel can also be used to make plastic molds for the production of plastic products.
4. Mechanical tools and woodworking tools: its high hardness and wear resistance make it an ideal material for mechanical tools and woodworking tools.
5. Guide rail and mold: It can also be used to manufacture precision parts such as guide rail and mold.
