Katalor Cr12MoV Die Steel Advantages

2019-06-05
Cr12MoV cold work die steel is a high wear-resistant micro-deformation tool steel, which is characterized by high wear resistance, hardenability, micro-deformation, high thermal stability, high bending strength, etc. It is second only to high-speed steel. It is an important material for die, cold die, etc. Cr12MoV die steel is carbon-molybdenum steel, which has lower carbon content than Crl2 steel, and added molybdenum and vanadium elements, which has improved the hot workability, impact toughness and carbide distribution of steel. Cr12MoV die steel Compared with Cr12 die steel, the carbon content is low, the newly added alloying elements improve the phenomenon of carbide non-uniformity, and molybdenum Mo element can reduce carbide segregation and improve hardenability, and vanadium V can refine grains to increase toughness. Katalor Cr12MoV die steel has high hardenability, and can be completely hardened under the cross section of 400 mm. It can maintain good hardness and wear resistance at 300~400 °C.

Katalor Cr12MoV Die Steel Advantages

Katalor Cr12MoV cold work die steel has better toughness than the same grade material on the market, and the possibility of volume change during quenching is greatly reduced. Therefore, it has the superior wear resistance and good comprehensive mechanical properties, which is the advantageous performance of Cr12MoV die steel. It is more suitable for manufacturing various kinds of molds with large cross-section, complicated shape, and large impact, as well as various cold-punching tools under heavy working conditions, such as punching die, trimming die, piping die, deep drawing die of steel plate, circle Saws, standard tools and gauges, thread rolling, etc.
Katalor Cr12MoV Die Steel Processing:
Cold extrusion die blank softening specification: use iron filing protection heating, temperature 760~780 °C, time 10 hours, furnace cooling, hardness 196HBW, can smoothly achieve cold extrusion forming.
