This invention proposes a mold steel with uniformly distributed inclusions and a low deformation rate, and its manufacturing method. The steel plate composition, by weight percentage, is as follows: C: 0.45%–0.55%, Si: 0.20%–0.30%, Mn: 0.20%–0.40%, P≤0.015%, S≤0.015%, Cr: 3.0%–4.0%, Mo: 3.0%–3.5%, V: 0.70%–0.80%, Ni: 0.80%–0.90%, Sc: 0.02%–0.03%, Zn: 0.03%–0.05%, wherein Ni / V = 1.125–1.145, Sc+Zn = 0.06%–0.07%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities. The steel plate production method includes
smelting,
continuous casting, slab heating, rolling, straightening,
slow cooling, normalizing + annealing pretreatment, and
quenching and
tempering. The number of inclusions per unit area in the
microstructure of the mold steel of this invention is (192-205) inclusions / mm. 2 The average particle size is 1.75μm to 1.85μm, fine and uniformly dispersed. The ratio of the
maximum diameter to the minimum
diameter of the inclusions is 1.69 to 1.78, approximately spherical. The thickness of the mold steel of this invention is 30 to 180 mm; the
hardness of the steel plate is 46 to 48 HRC, and the
hardness difference between the thickness and the cross-section is ≤2 HRC; the unnotched
room temperature transverse
impact toughness of the core is 220 to 230 J; the wear volume at 800℃ is (25 to 26) × 10⁻¹⁰. ‑3 mm 3 It has high
thermal conductivity at high temperatures, with a
thermal conductivity of (35~36) W·m at 800℃. ‑1 ·K ‑1 .
