The performance of AISI D2 tool steel

     The wear resistance of AISI D2 tool steel is high, small deformation, the carbon content as high as 1.5%, chromium content up to 11.5%. After heat treatment, the hardness of D2 steel is up to 60HRC, but its ductility, toughness, resistance to rust ability are relatively weak, steel surface to mirror polished is not easy.
     Along with the cold stamping products to the development of high precision and high efficiency, multi species, requirement of die steel has good abrasion resistance and toughness. Compared with Cr12MoV steel, the D2 steel has increased by Mo and V in chemical composition, changing the cast structure of steel, improve the morphology of ledeburite, its strength and toughness and wear resistance is better than that of Cr12MoV steel, improve the service life of mould.
     The yield point and plastic deformation resistance of AISI D2 tool steel is higher than Cr12MoV steel, so the forging properties and thermal plastic forming is slightly worse than Cr12MoV. Cr12MolV, American D2, Japan SKD11, three although the same chemical composition, but the performance difference is very big. After heat treatment, Cr12MolV color slightly orange red, deformation is very large, prone to fatigue fracture at actual use; D2 steel is cold white color, hardness higher than SKD11, the toughness is lower than SKD11, high stress is easy to appear the tiny gap; SKD11 bright luster and the best overall performance.

How to quenching and tempering of 4140 alloy steel

     How to quenching and tempering of 4140 alloy steel?
     The quenched and tempered of 4140 alloy steel production process: electric furnace smelting (EBT), LF refining, ingot casting, hot delivery, soaking pit, rolling, slow cooling, the surface peeled, quenching, tempering, steel straightening, cleaning inspection and turned over.
     4140 alloy steel rolling process:
     Use Rolling mill will steel ingot rolled into Φ180mm ~ Φ310mm. Since 4140 steel containing Mn and S, for the steel ingot of hot delivery use the soaking temperature 1260 ℃ in the production process, soaking time 3h, so you can make the steel ingot was burn-through, the steel rolling uniform deformation. Then the steel into the slow cooling pit slow cooling 60h, and then peeled surface treatment, and then quenched and tempered.
     4140 alloy steel quenched and tempered process:
     Before quenching, need to check whether there are cracks in the surface of the AISI 4140 steel, to prevent the quenching process since the steel surface crack lead to quenching crack.
     Steel quenching in bell-type furnace, installed furnace capacity controlled at about 20t, uniform heating to (890 ± 10) ℃, average temperature, heat preservation. Before quenching, tank filled with water and maintain a certain flow rate, water temperature is 10 ~ 40 ℃. From the baked to enter the water time is controlled within 10min. Steel was hanging out from the water every 2min, and then into the water. The quenching time a total of 30min, When leave the water, the steel surface temperature at 200 ℃. Steel after quenching, tempering as soon as possible. Tempering temperature of 580 ℃, the average temperature insulation 6 ~ 8h. After baked, in the sink fast cooling to 400 ℃, and then air cooling.

AISI 4340 steel heat treatment guide

     Performance: the AISI 4340 steel is a high hardenability steel, AISI 4340 steel heat treatment hardenability than any kind of steel in the AISI standard of the higher. When the elements are concentrated, hardenability is within the allowable range, the upper curve of hardenability essentially become a straight line, this indicates that the AISI 4340 steel need air quenching in thinner area. In accordance with the precise carbon content, when hardening, Rockwell hardness in the 54-59 range. Due to high hardenability, AISI 4340 steel using traditional welding methods are not suitable, although it can use this old methods, such as electron beam welding. AISI 4340 steel can be forged effortlessly, although its thermal performance than carbon or low-alloy steel is higher, the need to use high power forging machine. The mechanical processing is not very good.
     Forging: heated to 1230℃. After the temperature dropped to 900℃ to stop forging. Cool slowly to prevent cracks.
     Recommended AISI 4340 steel heat treatment operations:
     Normalizing: heating to 870℃. Cooling in air to 565 degrees; or heated to 830 degrees, rapidly cooled to 650 ℃, and hold 8 hours. In order to get the ball structure and heated to 750℃, rapidly cooled to 705℃, and then at a rate of not more than 3℃ per hour was cooled to 650℃, and hold 12 hours. Ball organizational structure is usually easy machining and heat treatment.
     Quenching: 845 degrees at the time, the steel organization becomes austenitic, then oil quenched. In the casting the thin area can be air quenching.
     Tempering: with all high hardenability steel the same, alloy steel 4340 will produce quenching cracks. In the casting to ambient temperature before (38-50℃), they should be placed in tempering furnace. Tempering temperature depends on the desired hardness or comprehensive mechanical properties.
     Nitriding: through nitriding to produce high surface hardness and enhance the anti fatigue performance.

Introduced the features of 1.2738 steel

    The 1.2738 steel using advanced die steel refining technology, is a vacuum melting Cr-Ni-Mo alloy steel. The features of 1.2738 steel: The steel has excellent polishing and photo-etching performance; excellent machinability; good wear resistance; large mold hardness is uniform, dense tissue; no quenching crack and deformation of heat treatment of risk, without heat treatment, shorten the molding cycle; surface nitriding performance can be good; flame surface hardening treatment, to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the die. Die before quenching, must be fully softening annealing. Should be timely tempering after quenching, slow heating.
    In the late precision electrical discharge machining , shall be conducted in small current, high frequency, so as not to damage the mould. After discharge the mold surface should be removed "electric spark grinding white layer", followed by a second tempering at 500 C, to remove stress.
    For grinding machining of the mold after tempering, in order to prevent softening of surface, grinding crack, should be noted: sufficient cooling; suitable grinding pressure; reasonable processing technology.
    The 1.2738 steel has good polishing performance, usually by alumina or gypsum polishing.
