Definitions
- the present invention relates to a steel for a plastic molding die.
- plastic moldings are used in a variety of areas.
- the plastic moldings are generally molded in a desired shape by the use of, for example, a plastic molding die such as an injection molding die.
- the plastic molding material generates a corrosive gas due to decomposition of the resin during the course of kneading or the like.
- this sort of corrosive gas rots the die, giving rise to surface roughness, a burr and the like in the plastic moldings to be obtained.
- Japanese Patent Gazette No. 3438121 discloses an alloy for a plastic molding die containing 0.25 wt% to 1.0 wt% C, 1.0 wt% maximum Si, 1.6 wt% maximum Mn, 0.10 wt% to 0.35 wt% N, 1.0 wt% maximum A1, 2.8 wt% maximum Co, 14.0 wt% to 25.0 wt% Cr, 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt% Mo, 3.9 wt% maximum Ni, 0.04 wt% to 0.4 wt% V, 3.0 wt% maximum W, 0.18 wt% maximum Nb, and 0.20 wt% maximum Ti, in which the sum of concentrations of C and N is at least 0.5 wt% and 1.2 wt% maximum, and the remainder including Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- the inner surface of the die is mirror polished from the viewpoint of making states of moldings' surfaces excellent; however, the alloy described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Gazette No. 3438121 has a problem that mirror polishing properties are degraded due to the coarse crystallized carbonitrides.
- An object of the invention is to overcome the problems described above and to provide a steel for a plastic molding die which possesses enough hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is excellent in high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties.
- a steel for a plastic molding die includes not more than 0.80 wt% C, not less than 0.01 wt% and less than 1.40 wt% Si, not less than 0.05 wt% and not more than 2.0 wt% Mn, not less than 0.005 wt% and not more than 1.00 wt% Ni, not less than 13.0 wt% and not more than 20.0 wt% Cr, not less than 0.20 wt% and not more than 4.0 wt% Mo + 1/2 W, not less than 0.01 wt% and not more than 1.00 wt% V, not less than 0.36 wt% and not more than 0.80 wt% N, not more than 0.02 wt% O, not more than 0.80 wt% Al, and the remainder substantially including Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- the steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention is made to have the above-described composition, in which, especially, the C-content is decreased while the N-content is increased, so that required hardness is secured. Accordingly, the steel for a plastic molding die has enough hardness and wear resistance.
- the N-content being increased, nitrogen is solubilized in a matrix phase of the steel and fine carbonitrides are formed, so that the steel for a plastic molding die is also excellent in corrosion resistance.
- the steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention is characterized as containing elements as provided below, and the remainder substantially including Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- elements as provided below, and the remainder substantially including Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- C is an element which is necessary for securing strength and wear resistance, and generates carbides by combining with carbide-forming elements such as Cr, Mo, W, V and Nb.
- C is an element also necessary for securing hardness by solubilizing in a matrix phase of the steel at the time of hardening to form a martensitic structure.
- the C-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%, preferably not more than 0.65 wt%, and more preferably less than 0.25 wt%.
- the present invention it is desirable to decrease an amount of the coarse crystallized carbides and an amount of insoluble carbides at the time of hardening by decreasing the C-content as much as possible and uniformly disperse fine carbides obtained by hardening and tempering since hardness can be improved by increasing a content of N.
- Si functions, similarly to Al to be described later, as a deoxidation element; however, Al reacts with N and generates AlN to decrease an amount of N solubilized in the matrix phase and concurrently the generated coarse AlN degrades high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties. Accordingly, it is preferable to use Si as the deoxidation element to reduce a content of Al in the steel. Specifically, a content of Si is not less than 0.01 wt%, preferably not less than 0.05 wt%, and more preferably not less than 0.10 wt%.
- the Si-content is specifically less than 1.40 wt%, preferably not more than 0.75 wt%, and more preferably not more than 0.25 wt%.

- Cr increases the solution amount of N while improving corrosion resistance.
- Cr forms carbonitrides.
- a content of Cr is not less than 13.0 wt%.
- the Cr-content is specifically not more than 20.0 wt%.
- Mo and W increase the solution amount of N, and improve hardenability.
- a content of Mo and W is specifically not less than 0.20 wt% for Mo + 1/2 W.
- V not less than 0.01 wt% and not more than 1.00 wt%
- V increases the solution amount of N.
- V forms carbonitrides, and by a pin-in effect thereof, crystal grains are fined to improve strength.
- a content of V is not less than 0.01 wt%.
- V-content is specifically not more than 1.00 wt%.
- N not less than 0.36 wt% and not more than 0.80 wt%
- N is an interstitial element which contributes to improvement in hardness of a martensitic structure.
- a content of N is specifically not less than 0.36 wt%. N of the content can be added by dissolving under pressure according to Sieverts' law.
- N blow a blow-hole resulting from N
- the N-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%.
- O is an element which is unavoidably contained in a molten steel.
- a content of O is high, coarse oxides are generated with Si and Al, and through the mediation of the coarse oxides, toughness, high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties are degraded. Accordingly, it is desirable for the O-content to be low as much as possible.
- the O-content is not more than 0.02 wt%, and preferably not more than 0.01 wt%.
- Al functions, similarly to Si, as a deoxidation element; however, when a content of A1 is excessively high, coarse AlN is prone to generate to degrade high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties significantly. Accordingly, the Al-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%.
- the steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention may further include one or more than one arbitrary element selected from the elements cited below.
- reasons for specifying contents of the elements are described.
- Ti, Nb, Ta and Zr combine with C and N to form carbonitrides, and contribute to curbed coarsening of crystal grains.
- a content of Ti is not less than 0.01 wt%
- a content of Nb is not less than 0.001 wt%
- a content of Ta is not less than 0.001 wt%
- a content of Zr is not less than 0.001 wt%.
- the Ti-content is specifically not more than 0.20 wt%
- the Nb-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%
- the Ta-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%
- the Zr-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%.
- a particle size of contained carbonitrides is not more than 4. 0 ⁇ m, preferably not more than 3.5 ⁇ m, and more preferably not more than 3. 0 ⁇ m, by which the steel is made excellent especially in high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties.
- the particle size of carbonitrides indicates a representing value such that 90% or more of the total number of carbonitrides to be observed have particle sizes not larger than the representing value, when a measuring plane of a finishing-polished specimen is rotten using a corrosive liquid and observed through an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope or the like.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a steel for a plastic molding die.
- These days, various plastic moldings are used in a variety of areas. The plastic moldings are generally molded in a desired shape by the use of, for example, a plastic molding die such as an injection molding die.
- Incidentally, from the viewpoint of improving strength of moldings, there is a case that a filler such as glass fiber is added to a material for the plastic moldings in addition to a resin being a main ingredient. This sort of additive wears away the die, lowering dimensional accuracy of plastic moldings to be obtained and reducing the lifetime of the die.
- In addition, there is a case that the plastic molding material generates a corrosive gas due to decomposition of the resin during the course of kneading or the like. When compressed to be high temperature and high pressure in the die, this sort of corrosive gas rots the die, giving rise to surface roughness, a burr and the like in the plastic moldings to be obtained.
- Therefore, for a material for the plastic molding die, it is necessary to use a metallic material which is excellent in hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Conventionally, as the metallic material of this sort, there is known a martensitic stainless steel such as SUS440C and an improved version thereof.
- In addition, for example, Japanese Patent Gazette
No. 3438121 - However, as the alloy described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Gazette
No. 3438121 - In addition, for the plastic molding die, it is often the case that the inner surface of the die is mirror polished from the viewpoint of making states of moldings' surfaces excellent; however, the alloy described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Gazette
No. 3438121 - It sounds logical that the alloy described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Gazette
No. 3438121 - An object of the invention is to overcome the problems described above and to provide a steel for a plastic molding die which possesses enough hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is excellent in high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties.
- To achieve the objects and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a steel for a plastic molding die includes not more than 0.80 wt% C, not less than 0.01 wt% and less than 1.40 wt% Si, not less than 0.05 wt% and not more than 2.0 wt% Mn, not less than 0.005 wt% and not more than 1.00 wt% Ni, not less than 13.0 wt% and not more than 20.0 wt% Cr, not less than 0.20 wt% and not more than 4.0 wt% Mo + 1/2 W, not less than 0.01 wt% and not more than 1.00 wt% V, not less than 0.36 wt% and not more than 0.80 wt% N, not more than 0.02 wt% O, not more than 0.80 wt% Al, and the remainder substantially including Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- The steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention is made to have the above-described composition, in which, especially, the C-content is decreased while the N-content is increased, so that required hardness is secured. Accordingly, the steel for a plastic molding die has enough hardness and wear resistance.
- In addition, the N-content being increased, nitrogen is solubilized in a matrix phase of the steel and fine carbonitrides are formed, so that the steel for a plastic molding die is also excellent in corrosion resistance.
- Further, the C-content being decreased, coarse crystallized carbonitrides are less prone to generate in the manufacturing stage. In addition, insoluble carbonitrides at the time of hardening decrease, and fine carbonitrides obtained by hardening and tempering are uniformly dispersed, so that the steel for a plastic molding die is excellent especially in high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties.
- Additional objects and advantages of the invention are set forth in the description which follows, are obvious from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The obj ects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the steel for a plastic molding die in the claims.
- A detailed description of one preferred embodiment of a steel for a plastic molding die embodied by the present invention is provided below. The steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention is characterized as containing elements as provided below, and the remainder substantially including Fe and unavoidable impurities. Hereinafter, types of the contained elements, and reasons for specifying their contents are described.
- C is an element which is necessary for securing strength and wear resistance, and generates carbides by combining with carbide-forming elements such as Cr, Mo, W, V and Nb. In addition, C is an element also necessary for securing hardness by solubilizing in a matrix phase of the steel at the time of hardening to form a martensitic structure.
- An excessive content of C, however, increases a tendency to combine with the above-mentioned carbide-forming elements and a large amount of carbides are crystallized, so that coarse carbides come to remain. From the viewpoint of preventing this, the C-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%, preferably not more than 0.65 wt%, and more preferably less than 0.25 wt%.
- In the present invention, it is desirable to decrease an amount of the coarse crystallized carbides and an amount of insoluble carbides at the time of hardening by decreasing the C-content as much as possible and uniformly disperse fine carbides obtained by hardening and tempering since hardness can be improved by increasing a content of N.
- Si functions, similarly to Al to be described later, as a deoxidation element; however, Al reacts with N and generates AlN to decrease an amount of N solubilized in the matrix phase and concurrently the generated coarse AlN degrades high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties. Accordingly, it is preferable to use Si as the deoxidation element to reduce a content of Al in the steel. Specifically, a content of Si is not less than 0.01 wt%, preferably not less than 0.05 wt%, and more preferably not less than 0.10 wt%.
- An excessive content of Si, however, leads to decline in hot workability and toughness. From the viewpoint of preventing this, the Si-content is specifically less than 1.40 wt%, preferably not more than 0.75 wt%, and more preferably not more than 0.25 wt%.
- Mn is added as an element for improving hardenability. In addition, in a case where S is contained unavoidably, Mn is effective at curbing decline in toughness. A content of Mn is specifically not less than 0.05 wt%.
- An excessive content of Mn, however, leads to decline in hot workability, so that the Mn-content is not more than 2.0 wt%.
- Ni increases a solution amount of N. Specifically, a content of Ni is not less than 0.005 wt%.
- An excessive content of Ni, however, increases residual austenite to cause changes in dimension with time, so that the Ni-content is specifically not more than 1.00 wt%.
- Cr increases the solution amount of N while improving corrosion resistance. In addition, Cr forms carbonitrides. Specifically, a content of Cr is not less than 13.0 wt%.
- An excessive content of Cr, however, increases a residual austenite phase even though the steel is subjected to a subzero treatment, leading to decline in hardness, and also gives a cost increase. Accordingly, the Cr-content is specifically not more than 20.0 wt%.
- Mo and W increase the solution amount of N, and improve hardenability. In order to obtain these effects, a content of Mo and W is specifically not less than 0.20 wt% for Mo + 1/2 W.
- An excessive content of Mo and W, however, promotes generation of crystallized carbonitrides to lower an impact value, so that the content of Mo and W is specifically not more than 4.0 wt% for Mo + 1/2 W.
- V increases the solution amount of N. In addition, V forms carbonitrides, and by a pin-in effect thereof, crystal grains are fined to improve strength. Specifically, a content of V is not less than 0.01 wt%.
- An excessive content of V, however, increases a tendency to generate coarse carbonitrides, and degrades high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties. Accordingly, the V-content is specifically not more than 1.00 wt%.
- N is an interstitial element which contributes to improvement in hardness of a martensitic structure. In order to obtain this effect, a content of N is specifically not less than 0.36 wt%. N of the content can be added by dissolving under pressure according to Sieverts' law.
- An excessive content of N, however, causes incrassation of N in solidification, and a blow-hole resulting from N (hereinafter, referred to as an "N blow") is prone to generate, making it difficult to curb the N blow by the application of pressure. Accordingly, the N-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%.
- O is an element which is unavoidably contained in a molten steel. When a content of O is high, coarse oxides are generated with Si and Al, and through the mediation of the coarse oxides, toughness, high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties are degraded. Accordingly, it is desirable for the O-content to be low as much as possible. Specifically, the O-content is not more than 0.02 wt%, and preferably not more than 0.01 wt%.
- Al functions, similarly to Si, as a deoxidation element; however, when a content of A1 is excessively high, coarse AlN is prone to generate to degrade high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties significantly. Accordingly, the Al-content is specifically not more than 0.80 wt%.
- In addition to the above-described essential elements, the steel for a plastic molding die consistent with the present invention may further include one or more than one arbitrary element selected from the elements cited below. Hereinafter, reasons for specifying contents of the elements are described.

- Co: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.50 wt%
- B: not less than 0.0005 wt% and not more than 0.010 wt%
However, if the contents of Cu, Co and B are made excessively high, the effect of hardenability is only saturated and a cost increase is brought about. Accordingly, the Cu-content is specifically not more than 0. 50 wt%, the Co-content is specifically not more than 0.50 wt%, and the B-content is specifically not more than 0.010 wt%. - <3>
- Se: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.30 wt%

- Bi: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.30 wt%
Excessive contents of Se, Te, Ca, Pb and Bi, however, lower toughness. Accordingly, the Se-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%, the Te-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%, the Ca-content is specifically not more than 0.10 wt%, the Pb-content is specifically not more than 0.20 wt%, and the Bi-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%. - <4>
- Ti: not more than 0.20 wt%
- Nb: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.30 wt%
- Ta: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.30 wt%
- Zr: not less than 0.001 wt% and not more than 0.30 wt%
- Ti, Nb, Ta and Zr combine with C and N to form carbonitrides, and contribute to curbed coarsening of crystal grains. Specifically, a content of Ti is not less than 0.01 wt%, a content of Nb is not less than 0.001 wt%, a content of Ta is not less than 0.001 wt%, and a content of Zr is not less than 0.001 wt%.
- Excessive contents of Ti, Nb, Ta and Zr, however, lower toughness. Accordingly, the Ti-content is specifically not more than 0.20 wt%, the Nb-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%, the Ta-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%, and the Zr-content is specifically not more than 0.30 wt%.
- In addition, in the above-described steel for a plastic molding die, it is favorable that a particle size of contained carbonitrides is not more than 4. 0 µm, preferably not more than 3.5 µm, and more preferably not more than 3. 0 µm, by which the steel is made excellent especially in high-precision processability and mirror polishing properties.
- Incidentally, the particle size of carbonitrides indicates a representing value such that 90% or more of the total number of carbonitrides to be observed have particle sizes not larger than the representing value, when a measuring plane of a finishing-polished specimen is rotten using a corrosive liquid and observed through an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope or the like.
- Next, description will be given to one example of a production process of the above-described steel for a plastic molding die.
- Cited are a production process in which the steel for a plastic molding die having the above-described composition is molten by the use of a melting furnace such as a high-frequency induction furnace capable of applying pressure, and cast into an ingot or the like, and thereafter, the ingot or the like is subjected to hot forging or hot rolling to produce a steel material having necessary dimensions, and the like.
- One example of a heat treatment to which the above-described steel for a plastic molding die is subjected is as follows. Specifically, annealing can be performed, for example, by applying heat in a temperature range of 850°C to 900°C for 3 to 5 hours, then providing cooling in a furnace to the vicinity of 600°C at a velocity of 10-20°C/hour, and thereafter providing air-cooling. In addition, specifically, hardening and tempering can be performed as follows: the hardening is performed, for example, by applying heat in a temperature range of 1000°C to 1200°C for 0. 5 to 1.5 hours and then providing oil-cooling, and then, the steel is subjected to a subzero treatment at -196°C or -76°C for 0.5 to 1 hour, and thereafter, the tempering is performed by applying heat in a temperature range of 200°C to 700°C for 0.5 to 1.5 hours and then providing air-cooling.

Further, the steels consistent with Examples 1 to 16 were subjected to a subzero treatment at -76°C or -196°C and then, tempered at a temperature ranging from 200°C to 475°C. Properties of specimens consistent with Examples and Comparative Examples were assessed as follows.
- 15 cubic millimeters of blocks were cut from the respective squared bars and subj ected to the heat treatments, and then measuring planes thereof were polished using emery paper of #1500. Then, the measuring planes were finished by buffing using diamond paste of 1 µm and rotten using a villela etching liquid. Then, the measuring planes were photographed using an optical microscope (magnification: 400×, with 10× eyepieces), and a value, such that 90% or more of the total number of carbonitrides to be observed had particle sizes not larger than the value, was defined as a representing value.

- Wear resistance was assessed using a pin-on-disk friction and wear tester. Specifically, two pins 8 mm in diameter were cut from the respective squared bars and subjected to the heat treatments, and a disk which was cut from S45C was used. Test conditions were as follows: a slipping velocity; 1.6 m/s, a slipping distance; 5,000 m, a pressing load; 10.5 kgf, and lubrication oil; not used. Before and after the test, weights of the pins were measured, and thereby weights of wear were measured.

Then, based on JIS B0633, the maximum surface roughness Ry of machined surfaces thereof was measured. At this time, the one whose maximum surface roughness Rywas not more than 2.0 µm was regarded as passed.
- Plates of 50 mm × 45 mm × 12 mm were made from the respective squared bars, subjected to the heat treatments, and then polished by a machine using a grinding stone of # 14000. Then, the plates were subjected to chemical etching and specimens were prepared. After that, based on JIS B0633, surface roughness Ra of the specimens was measured. At this time, the one whose surface roughness Ra was not more than 0.05 µm was regarded as passed.
