Production Process

Production Process of Mould/Die Steel

Mold steel is a kind of special steel which is used to manufacture die. It has the characteristics of high wear resistance, high tensile strength and high heat resistance. It plays an important role in industrial production and is widely used in automobile manufacturing, electronic products, plastic products and other fields.

The manufacturing methods of die steel can be divided into melting, casting, heat treatment and finishing.

1. Smelting: first of all, select high quality iron ore and appropriate alloy elements for smelting. In the melting process, the ratio of furnace temperature to alloy elements needs to be controlled to ensure that the final steel has the required properties.

2. Casting: pour the molten steel into the die, after it is cooled and solidified, take out the mould and get the original steel ingot.

3. Heat treatment: heat treatment of die steel to improve its hardness and wear resistance. Common heat treatment methods include quenching, tempering and so on.

4. Finishing: fine machining of die steel by means of machining and other means to achieve the required size and surface finish.
