The introduction of the mold steel 1.2080 steel

     The mold steel 1.2080 steel is the German D1N standard material number, which corresponds to the Chinese GB standard grade CR12, Japanese JIS standard grade SKD1, U.S. AlSI / SAE standard grade D3. Mold steel 1.2080 steel is a kind of ledeburite steel with high carbon and chromium. It has a high abrasion resistance, hardenability, hardenability, toughness, thermal stability, compressive strength, micro-deformation and excellent overall performance, has good machining and thermal oxidation resistance, wide adaptability. Has a high abrasion resistance, is 3 to 4 times of the general low alloy tool steel. The small deformation hardening.
     Mold steel 1.2080 steel isothermal spheroidizing annealing specification: (850 ~ 870) ℃ × (3 ~ 4) h, with the furnace cooling, (740 ~ 760) ℃ × (4 ~ 5) h isothermal, cooled baked, hardness temperature ≤241HBS, eutectic carbides ≤3 level.
     Ordinary quenching specification: Temperature 950 ~ 1150 ℃, oil quenching, quenching hardness ≥60HRC.
     The 1.2080 steel can be used to make cold working mold of complex shape and working conditions complex. Such as Die punch, thread rolling dies, drawing dies, die cutting, powder metallurgy die, woodworking cutting tools, cold cutting scissors drill sleeve and gauge tool.
