Mo:0.40-0.50wt%
Molybdenum element is that the strong carbide that is only second to v element forms alloying element; Mainly be can be so that mold module obtains better hardening capacity and uniformity of hardness; Because molybdenum element can form M2C and M3C type carbide with carbon; The effect of twice reinforcement is arranged, and molybdenum element can increase the hardening capacity of steel again, obtains bainite structure.For large-scale mold module, increase hardening capacity means can obtain hardness more uniformly in the drawing process of steel, thereby makes the pre-hardening hardness difference of large-scale mold module reduce, and improves the performance number of mold module.
Ni:0.90-1.20wt%
Nickel element is non-carbide forming element; The adding of nickel element can be so that the austenite of module be more stable; Increased the hardening capacity of heavy die block thereby make perlitic transformation point when cooling transformation move right, the adding of nickel element makes large-scale mold module in process of cooling, obtain uniform martensitic stucture, is decomposed into sorbite during tempering; Guarantee the uniformity of hardness of module, reduced the hardness difference of large-scale mold module.
Al:0.02-0.04wt%、
In homogeneous module material of the present invention, adding the aluminium element effect mainly is in steel, to form the Solder for Al-Cu Joint Welding metallographic phase; Improve the content of bainite after quench treatment in the steel; Make the module tissue homogenize; And the effect of crystal grain thinning is arranged to a certain extent, make the even hardness degree of the module effect that is greatly improved.
Cu:0.27-0.35wt%
In homogeneous module material of the present invention, adding the copper effect mainly is in steel, to form the Solder for Al-Cu Joint Welding metallographic phase, improves the content of bainite after quench treatment in the steel, makes the even hardness degree of the module effect that gets a promotion.It is excessive that copper can not add, and surpasses the fragility that the upper limit may cause material.
S≤0.015wt%
As far as most of steel alloys, element sulphur is a harmful element, and particularly to large-scale mold module, element sulphur causes the deterioration of the processing characteristics of steel easily on certain degree, makes steel in hot worked process, produce overheated and burn-off phenomenon easily.Some of control sulphur content can improve steel processing characteristics and mechanical property.
