Description of drawings

Fig. 1 is the graphic representation that the machinability (or machinability) of die steel of the present invention and existing die steel is compared in expression.

Embodiment

Below, to the effect of the basic alloying constituent that constitutes injection-moulding plastic die steel of the present invention and to the qualification reason of content range, be explained as follows.

1.C：0.10～0.30wt％

Carbon is that the hardness and the wear resistance institute that obtain to require after quenching and the tempering must indispensable compositions.In order to obtain the desired abundant intensity of injection-moulding plastic die steel, must there be carbon in the steel more than or equal to 0.10wt%.But, if the content of carbon surpasses 0.3wt%, promptly there is too much carbon, then machinability worsens, in large-scale bloom, because the segregation meeting produces etch pit.Therefore, must limit the content of carbon smaller or equal to 0.3wt%.

2.Si：0.40～0.70wt％

Si is the element that uses as reductor.If the amount of the Si in the steel is very little, the machinability variation after quenching and the tempering.For this reason, need make the inferior limit of Si content is 0.40wt%.

But, if surpassing 0.7wt%, content has too much silicon, under the use temperature of mould, toughness value reduces.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 0.7wt%.

3.Mn：0.90～1.50wt％

Same with Si, Mn also is the element that uses as reductor.Aspect the hardness that Mn requires after the raising of guaranteeing hardenability and quenching, tempering is necessary.For the hardness that obtains to require, in steel, must contain Mn more than or equal to 0.9wt%.But, there is too much Mn if surpass 1.5wt%, then machinability descends, and causes crackle during quenching easily.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 1.50wt%.

4.S：0.005～0.020wt％

S combines with Mn when solidifying and generates the MnS non-metallic inclusion.Therefore, by playing a role as the stress concentration position when the mechanical workout, or performance lubrication and play the effect that improves machinability.In order to give full play to such effect, must contain S more than or equal to 0.05wt%.But,, also be harmful to the processibility of electrodischarge machining(E.D.M.) if the excessive existence of S then when making large-scale bloom, because of the MnS skewness, not only increases the anisotropy of mechanical properties.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 0.020wt%.

5.Cr：1.0～2.5wt％

Cr brings into play the effect of strengthening matrix, improving wear resistance by forming carbide.In addition, Cr is a very important element of guaranteeing hardenability with Mn.In order to obtain corresponding effects, must contain Cr more than or equal to 1.0wt%.But, there is too much Cr if surpass 2.5wt%, can cause machinability and corrosion-resistant processibility to descend.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 2.5wt%.

6.Ni：0.10～0.50wt％

Ni brings into play the effect that improves hardenability by enlarging austenite region.But, if contain Ni too much, can reduce quench and tempering after machinability.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 0.50wt%.0.10～0.50wt% preferably.

7.Mo：0.20～0.50wt％

Mo and Cr bring into play the effect of strengthening matrix, improving wear resistance by forming carbide equally.In addition, guaranteeing that it also is important composition aspect the hardenability.But the Mo that crosses volume can make high temperature toughness descend.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 0.50wt%.0.20～0.50wt% preferably.

8.V：0.001～0.20wt％

V brings into play crystalline particle granular, the effect that improves toughness and intensity by forming trickle carbide.But, surpass 0.20wt% and have too much V, compare with the effect that improves toughness and intensity, more increased manufacturing cost.For this reason, need limit it smaller or equal to 0.20wt%.0.001～0.20wt% preferably.
