alloy tool steel suitable for manufacturing dies (such as hot pressing dies, forging dies, die-casting dies, etc.) for hot deformation processing of steel and other metal alloy. hot-working die steel should have certain high temperature strength, thermal fatigue resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance and toughness, as well as high hardenability and small heat treatment deformation. The carbon content of hot work die steel is generally 0.3% -0.5% white (too high carbon content will make the plasticity, toughness and thermal conductivity worse. Too low carbon content will make the hardness and wear resistance fail to meet the requirements), and contains alloy elements that strengthen ferrite and improve hardenabilhy.
