The austenitization of Cr12MoV steel at 1100-1150 ℃ allows almost all carbides to dissolve in the austenite, followed by rapid spheroidization at 720 ℃ → 750 ℃ → 720 ℃ immediately after rapid cooling, which can completely eliminate network carbides and large pointed carbides, and eliminate the inheritance of coarse structures. After final heat treatment, the grain size can reach 10-12 levels, and the carbide particles are refined and round, which greatly increases the impact toughness of the steel and prolongs the service life of the mold.
