The invention relates to die-
casting die steel which comprises the following elements in percentage by
mass: 0.32%-0.45% of C, 1.35%-1.65% of Cr, 0.3%-0.6% of Mn, 0.15%-0.25% of Mo, 0.01%-0.03% of Si, 0.005%-0.012% of V, 0.7%-1.1% of AL, 0.1%-0.3% of Ni and the balance of Fe. The invention further relates to a production method of the die-
casting die steel, and the production method comprises the following steps: burdening the components in percentage by weight and then putting the components into an electric furnace;
smelting in a protective
atmosphere to obtain a melt; the melt is subjected to heat preservation for 2.5 h to 3 h under the condition of 1570 DEG C to 1650 DEG C, vacuum die-
casting forming is conducted, a casting is obtained, the casting is subjected to multidirectional
forging machining, and a
forging stock is obtained; performing high-temperature annealing on the
forging stock; the annealed forging stock is subjected to rough
machining,
quenching and
tempering treatment; and the tempered forging stock is subjected to finish
machining and
nitriding treatment, so that the die steel has better
thermal conductivity and high
toughness, the material can generate
toughness deformation response under frequent high temperature and
high pressure, the deformation of the product is reduced, the high-temperature
wear resistance is improved through a good
nitriding layer structure, and thus the service life of the product is prolonged.
