The invention discloses a preparation technology of
hot work die steel with high thermal strength, and belongs to the technical field of die steel, the preparation technology is based on ultra-low
phosphorus and
sulfur pure iron, ferrotungsten, 4.5-5.5% of W, 1.8-2.2% of
ferromolybdenum, 4.9-5.25% of ferrochromium, 4.9-5.25% of Cr, 0.5-0.8% of V, and the carbon content is dynamically adjusted through a carbon equivalent formula, namely Ceq = C + 1 / 7Cr + 1 / 5Mo + 1 / 8W + 1 / 4V = 0.95-1.05, so that the carbon content is controlled within the range of 0.38-0.42%; in the
preparation stage, the gas content is controlled through
electric arc furnace-LF-VD triple refining, so that the content of the O element is smaller than or equal to 12 ppm, then the structure is refined through electroslag remelting, multidirectional
forging is conducted after
diffusion annealing is conducted for 12 h at the temperature of 1200 DEG C, and the target that the total
forging ratio is not smaller than 9 is achieved; and finally, through a combined process of
quenching at the temperature of 1080 DEG C, stepped
tempering at the temperature of 580-600 DEG C and
ion nitriding at the temperature of 520 DEG C for 24 hours, the
hot work die steel which is high in red
hardness, namely the
hardness of the
hot work die steel is not smaller than 48 HRC at the temperature of 600 DEG C, and the hot work die steel has excellent
thermal fatigue performance can be obtained. Therefore, the technical problem of how to improve the material performance of the hot work die steel is solved.
