Tool and die steel
Tools and molds have made indelible contributions in modern industry. Tool and mold steel is the most important component of molds and the most widely used material among mold materials. It is an important material carrier and technical foundation for the tool and mold manufacturing industry. Its varieties , specifications and quality play a decisive role in the performance, service life and manufacturing cycle of the tool and mold.
Characteristics of Tool and Mold Field
Molds that are used for a long time (more than 1,000,000 times) should use high-hardness steel with a hardness of 48-65HRC. Molds that are used for moderately long periods of time (100,000 to 1,000,000 times) should use pre-hardened steel with a hardness of 30-45HRC. Molds used for a short period of time (less than 100,000 times) should use mild steel with a hardness of 160-250HB.
