Applications
1) Suitable for molds with high gloss.
2) After the mold steel nitride surface hardness can reach 650 ~
700HV, the number of products can reach more than 1 million die.
Die steel for plastic moulds with a thickness of about 400 mm plus.
If uniform hardness, elevated toughness and polishability is required in the contour as well. Moulds for TV housings and rear walls, copier housings; shock-absorber moulds;moulds for dashboards and large outside body parts; waste bin moulds; pressure casting frames

Overview
1.2738 tool steel is pre-hardened plastic mold steel.
1.2738 steel using advanced die steel refining technology for the
vacuum melting of Cr-Ni-Mo alloy steel.
The steel has excellent polishing and photo etching flower performance; excellent workability; good wear resistance; uniform hardness of large molds, dense tissue; no quench cracking and heat treatment deformation risk, without heat treatment, shorten the mold making cycle; good Surface nitriding performance; can be surface flame hardening treatment to enhance the mold surface hardness and wear resistance.
Mold before quenching, must be fully softened annealing. After quenching should be tempered, slow heating.
After EDM EDM, should be a small current, high frequency, so as not
to damage the mold. After discharge, the mold surface should be
ground to remove the "spark white layer" and then tempered at 500 °
C to remove the stress.
Tempering of the mold after grinding process, in order to prevent grinding cracks and surface softening, we should pay attention to: full cooling; grinding pressure appropriate; processing technology is reasonable.
The steel pre-hardened steel has good polishing properties and is
usually polished with alumina or gypsum. The first is the rough
throw, and then use more and more fine abrasive polishing, abrasive
polishing for each change direction, the final polishing time
should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the mold surface
roughness.
Nitriding can increase the mold surface hardness, improve wear
resistance and corrosion resistance. Although the steel has been
pre-hardened, but can still heat treatment to improve the hardness.
