What is DC53 material?
What is DC53 material?
DC53, is an improvement over alloy tool steel D-2. It eliminates the disadvantages of insufficient hardness and toughness that are a result of high-temperature tempering found with D-2. DC-53 is typically chosen as a replacement for D-2 in use for general purpose and precision dies.
What is SKD11 steel?
SKD11 is the tool steel, die steel, and high carbon steel possessing high hardness, strength and wear resistance. Its surface is grinded precisely. It is often used for the stamping dies, plastic molds, and so on.
What is D2 tool steel?
D2 tool steel is an air-hardening, high carbon, high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear resisting properties. It is a very deep hardening steel and will be practically free from size change after proper treatment.
What is M2 tool steel?
M-2 is a tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel. It is a popular grade for cutting and non-cutting applications. Compared to M1 Tool Steel, M2 grade has a high carbon content which provides higher wear resistance for applications that need it.
What is difference between SKD11 and D2?
The place of birth is different. SKD11 is the general name of the Japanese Ministry of Industry. D2 material is the American mold steel grade, and the alloy composition is Cr12Mo1V1. However, the composition of SKD11 alloy produced in China is lower than the D2 material standard.
What is SKD61 steel?
SKD61 is a high chromium alloy tool steel with high hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment and hardenability. It has good dimensional stability and hot hardness. it is suitable for producing high precision long life hot work die mould.
What are the characteristics of mold steel dc53?
Description: DC53 is a general-purpose cold work die and mold steel whose strength and toughness approach those of high-speed steels. Unique Characteristics: Higher hardness (62-63 HRc) than D2 after heat treatment. Twice the toughness of D2 with superior wear resistance. 20% higher fatigue strength than D2.
Which is the best process for dc53 steel?
DC53 is only as good as the heat treatment it receives. The heat treat process can be broken down into two segments, Hardening & Tempering.
What kind of Furnace is used for dc53?
DC53 is typically air hardened using a vacuum furnace however it can also be processed by using a gas or electric furnace with or without a controlled atmosphere when wrapped in stainless foil or salt bath hardened by immersing the part in high temperature salts. Air hardening DC53 is best accomplished under vacuum.
What is the high temperature double draw dc53?
The high temperature double draw 520° C (970° F) or higher was part of the development criteria in determining alloy content, and heat treat requirements for DC53. This high temperature double temper relives a considerable amount of stress in the steel which in turn minimizes movement in the part when Wire EDM cutting hardened DC53.
