Background
The usage amount of the cold stamping die is increased year by year, and the cold stamping die becomes important process equipment for producing various plate parts. The metal material used as a cold stamping die is greatly affected by cold extrusion forming and blanking force during use, and particularly important parts such as a male die and a female die are required to have strong strength, toughness and wear resistance. The steel types commonly used for the cold stamping die are Cr12MoV, SKD11 and D2, and the chemical compositions of the three types of steel are basically equivalent.
In order to further improve the toughness of the cold stamping die and maintain the original strength, the Japan Daibid company develops DC53 (the domestic mark is Cr8Mo2SiV) on the basis of Cr12MoV steel, and when designing the chemical components, the proportion of the contents of carbon and chromium is reduced, and further the precipitation of eutectic carbide is reduced to improve the toughness.
