Description
- The present invention claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a-d) to CN 202210055527.9, filed Jan. 18, 2022, and titled as “A die steel with a high thermal diffusion coefficient and its preparation method”. The entire content of CN 202210055527.9 is incorporated into the present invention by reference.
- The present invention relates to the field of iron and steel technology, and more particularly to a die steel with a high thermal diffusion coefficient. Moreover, the present invention also relates to preparation methods of the die steel with the high thermal diffusion coefficient.
- As the cornerstone of manufacturing industry, steel industry plays a very important role in the development of modern industry.
- As a kind of steel material, die steel is widely used in industry and manufacturing. According to the temperature at which the solid metal or liquid metal is processed, there are two kinds of die steel, namely, cold working die steel and hot-work die steel. The hot-work die steel is a material for manufacturing a die in which a solid metal or a liquid metal heated above the recrystallization temperature obtains a desired shape, such as hot forging die, die casting die and hot stamping die. The hot-work die steel and the cold working die steel often need to be quenched and tempered before the die is put into use, so as to obtain excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.
- In the design and application of commonly used die steel, its mechanical properties, such as heat treatment hardness, impact toughness, impact toughness and abrasion resistance, are often considered, but the influence of physical properties of materials on the service quality and life of materials is often ignored. The physical properties of materials, such as thermal diffusion coefficient, are also important factors affecting the service quality of the die. In the die steel, especially in the hot-work die steel, the thermal diffusion coefficient of the die affects the quality of the product and the service life of the die. In die casting, the liquid metal needs to be solidified in the abrasives. In this process, a mold with a high thermal diffusion coefficient is able to provide a high cooling rate for the liquid metal, reduce the die casting time, and improve the castability. In the hot stamping die, the die with high thermal diffusion coefficient is able to provide high cooling rate for the steel plate, promote the martensitic transformation of the steel plate, improve the strength of the steel plate, reduce the holding time and improve the production efficiency. At the same time, the high thermal diffusion coefficient of the die is able to effectively reduce the heating temperature of the die surface during processing, improve the high-temperature abrasion resistance and resist the initiation and propagation of thermal fatigue cracks, and improve the service life of the die.
- However, the physical properties of heat conduction of the die steel, which is prepared by the preparation method of the die steel provided by the present invention, have not been fully taken into account in the current preparation method of the die steel. Therefore, there is space for improvement in the thermal conductivity of the die made from the existing die steel. It is helpful to prolong the service life of the die by improving the heat conductivity of the die steel.
