The invention relates to the technical field of special steel
forge pieces, in particular to high-performance
hot work die steel and a production process thereof. The high-performance
hot work die steel is prepared from, by weight, 0.36-0.39% of C, 0.10-0.50% of Si, 0.20-0.60% of Mn, 4.7-5.3% of Cr, 2.4-2.6% of Mo, 0.50-0.70% of V, 0.40-0.70% of Ni, 0.002% or less of S, 0.015% or less of P and thebalance Fe. The preparation process comprises the steps of
electric arc furnace melting, external refining, pouring, electroslag remelting in protective
atmosphere, smithing, high-temperature
diffusion and spheroidizing annealing. In the high-performance
hot work die steel and the production process thereof, the proportion of the raw materials of the hot work die steel is optimized, an optimizedChemical composition scheme for the hot work die steel is provided, the heat intensity,
hardness and
toughness of the steel can be improved, the
critical transition temperature during heating and cooling of the steel can be increased, and the strength and
toughness are improved. By adding the
Ni element, the
quenching degree of the die steel is increased, the
plasticity and
toughness of the steelcan be improved at the same strength, and the service life of a die can be greatly prolonged.
