Forging Cr12MO1V1/D2 Cold Work Mold Steel

Cr12MO1V1/D2 is a classic high carbon and high chromium cold work die steel, which is widely used in the fields of cold stamping, shearing, and forming due to its high wear resistance, dimensional stability, and certain corrosion resistance.

D2 mold steel (ASTM D2, UNS T30402, corresponding to W-Nr. 1.2379, JIS SKD11,  GB/T Cr12Mo1V1, implementing ASTM A681 standard) is internationally recognized as a classic high carbon and high chromium cold work mold steel, often referred to as "semi stainless steel", and is the main force material for precision cold stamping, shearing, and forming molds.

Cr12Mo1V1 Heat Treatment

1. Annealing (softening, convenient for processing)

Heating: 850-880 ℃ insulation

Slow cooling along with the furnace

Hardness: ≤ 255 HB

2. Quenching

Preheating: 500-600 ℃, 800-850 ℃ two times preheating

Quenching temperature: 1020-1040 ℃ for insulation

Cooling: Both air-cooled and oil cooled can be quenched and hardened

3. Tempering (key)

Temperature: 180-220 ℃

Frequency: 2-3 times, each time ≥ 2h

Purpose: To relieve stress, stabilize dimensions, and improve toughness

Final hardness: 60-62 HRC


Feature

High hardness, high wear resistance

  • After quenching and tempering, it can reach 60-62 HRC, with good wear resistance, suitable for long-term cutting and high wear conditions.

Good hardenability and minimal heat treatment deformation

  • High chromium cold working steel can be quenched by air cooling, and large-sized molds can also be hardened as a whole, with stable dimensions.

Good corrosion resistance

  • High chromium content, known as "semi stainless steel", less prone to rusting than ordinary mold steel.

High strength and good compression resistance

  • Suitable for embossing, molding, and cold extrusion.



Application

Cold stamping die, blanking die, edge cutting die, stainless steel sheet/silicon steel sheet stamping die

Stretch die, bending die, cold extrusion die

Rolling wheel, rolling plate, cutting tool, cutting blade

Wear resistant block, ejector pin, precision measuring tool, fixture

Wear resistant parts such as cutting tools, blades, woodworking knives, etc
