What are alloy steel forged parts？
Tool steel is a kind of steel suitable for making molds, knives, gauges and wear-resistant tools. The main characteristics of tool steel are that tool steel can maintain high strength and have certain toughness at high temperatures. Tool steel is mainly divided into carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel and high-speed tool steel according to its composition. Choose according to the customer’s product use. The main grades of tool steel are Cr12, Cr12MoV, H13, W18Cr4V, W6Mo5Cr4V2, W2Mo9Cr4VCo8. In fact, H13 is the preferred material for making molds after heat treatment.
Requirements for forging tool steel in die forging process
Die forging is to forge metal billets under high temperature and high pressure to form a certain shape in the die. Die forging is mainly divided into open die forging and closed die forging. Die forging process Die forging can be made of tool steel materials.
Application of forged tool steel industry
1 Military industry Many military equipment are forged with tool steel, such as the chain strips of tanks. The chain strips need to rub against the ground for a long time and need to be wear-resistant. Some tank chain strips are forged with tool steel. 2 Automobile industry Tool steel can be used to make molds for automobile couplings, automobile brake pads, and other automobile accessories. Die forging made of tool steel can reduce the production cost of enterprises.
