2020-03-19

There are metal materials commonly used by processing manufacturers to deal with. This time I will share 24 commonly used materials for machinery and mold processing. The materials are all understood, and it is easier to match the knife.

1, 45-high-quality carbon structural steel, is the most commonly used medium-tempered and tempered steel

Main features: The most commonly used medium carbon quenched and tempered steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, low hardenability, and cracks easily during water quenching. Small parts should be quenched and tempered, and large parts should be normalized. Application examples: Mainly used for manufacturing high-strength moving parts, such as turbine impellers and compressor pistons. Shafts, gears, racks, worms, etc. Welding parts should be preheated before welding and stress relief annealing after welding.

Generate cracks, moderate cold bend plasticity, good machinability after tempering or tempering, but poor weldability, easy to crack, preheat to 100 ~ 150 ℃ before welding. Generally, it can be used in the quenched and tempered state. Carburizing and high frequency surface hardening. Application example: After quenching and tempering, it is used to manufacture medium-speed and medium-load parts, such as machine tool gears, shafts, worms, spline shafts, thimble sleeves, etc., after quenching and tempering and high-frequency surface hardening, it is used to produce high-hardness and resistance to surface. Grinding parts, such as gears, shafts, main shafts, crankshafts, mandrels, sleeves, pins, connecting rods, screws and nuts, intake valves, etc., are used to produce heavy-duty, medium-speed impact after quenching and tempering at moderate temperatures Parts, such as oil pump rotors, sliders, gears, main shafts, collars, etc., are used to manufacture heavy-duty, low-impact, wear-resistant parts such as worms, spindles, shafts, collars, etc. after quenching and low temperature tempering. Carbon After the nitriding, the transmission parts, such as shafts and gears, with larger size and higher low temperature impact toughness are manufactured later.

Low hardenability, use after normalizing or quenching and tempering Application examples: Suitable for manufacturing small cross-section parts, parts that can withstand large loads: such as crankshafts, levers, connecting rods, shackles, etc., various standard parts, fasteners .

6, 65Mn-commonly used spring steel

Application examples: small flat and round springs, cushion springs, springs, spring rings, valve springs, clutch springs, brake springs, cold-rolled coil springs, snap springs, etc.

7, 0Cr18Ni9-the most commonly used stainless steel (US steel number 304, Japanese steel number SUS304)

Characteristics and applications: It is the most widely used as stainless heat-resistant steel, such as food equipment, general chemical equipment, and original industrial equipment.

8. Cr12——Commonly used cold work die steel (American steel grade D3, Japanese steel grade SKD1)

Features and applications: Cr12 steel is a widely used cold work die steel, which is a high carbon and high chromium type bainite steel. The steel has good hardenability and good wear resistance. Because the carbon content of Cr12 steel is as high as 2.3%, the impact toughness is poor, it is easy to brittle, and it is easy to form non-uniform eutectic carbide. It has good abrasion resistance, and is mostly used to manufacture cold punches, punches, blanking dies, cold heading dies, cold extrusion dies and cold dies, drill sleeves, and gauges that require high wear resistance with less impact load , Drawing die, embossing die, wire drawing board, drawing die and cold pressing die for powder metallurgy.

9, DC53-commonly used cold-work die steel imported from Japan

Features and applications: High-strength and toughness cold-working die steel, Japan Datong Special Steel Co., Ltd. steel grade. After high temperature tempering, it has high hardness, high toughness, and good wire cutting. Used for precision cold stamping die, drawing die, wire rolling die, cold punching die, punch, etc. 10, SM45-ordinary carbon plastic mold steel (Japanese steel number S45C)

10.DCCr12MoV-wear-resistant chrome steel

Made in China. Compared with Cr12 steel, the carbon content is lower, and Mo and V are added. The carbide unevenness is improved. MO can reduce carbide segregation and improve hardenability. V can refine grains and increase toughness. This steel has high Hardenability, cross-section below 400mm can be fully hardened, good hardness and wear resistance can be maintained at 300 ~ 400 ℃, higher toughness than Cr12, small volume change during quenching, and high wear resistance and Good comprehensive mechanical properties. So it can manufacture various molds with large cross-sections, complex shapes, and withstanding large impacts, such as ordinary drawing dies, punching concave dies, punching dies, blanking dies, cutting dies, piping dies, wire drawing dies , Cold extrusion die, cold cutting scissors, circular saw, standard tools, measuring tools, etc.

11.SKD11-acier chromé ductile

Japon Hitachi production. Améliorer techniquement la structure coulée en acier et affiner les grains. Par rapport au Cr12mov, la ténacité et la résistance à l'usure ont été améliorées. La durée de vie du moule a été prolongée.

12, acier de travail à froid à haute teneur en carbone à haute teneur en carbone D2
