The invention relates to a material, in particular to a
wear resistant and wearable die material. The die material is prepared by the following components in percentage by weight: 1.2 to 3.50% of C, 1.0 to 3.5% of Si, 0.5 to 1.2% of Mn, not greater than 0.02% of S, 0.3 to 1.0% of Cu, 0.5 to 5.0% of Cr, 0.5 to 3.0% of Al, and the balance of Fe. A heat-conducting property of the material is superior to that of steel, a mechanical performance is close to that of the steel, and the material is stable in chemical performance, prevent molten aluminum from polluting, and high in
wear resistance; because
graphite is contained in the material, the die material is excellent in heat-conducting property; the
graphite is small, and a
tail end of the
graphite is circular and passivated, so that the mechanical performance of the material is slightly reduced; proper
alloy elements are added to the material, so that a layer of protecting films without being infiltrated by aluminum and the molten
aluminum can be formed in an internal chamber after a die is thermally processed during a manufacturing process; once a film of the internal chamber is broken during use, a new protection film can be continuously generated, so that
erosion of the molten
aluminum can be resisted. According to the die material, a
Cr element and carbon form a
metal compound, so that the die has an excellent wearable performance; the graphite in the material is a good
solid lubricant, so that wear can be reduced, and the wear on surfaces of the aluminum and an aluminum
alloy can be reduced.
