Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The wear resistance of steels for cold work dies increases with the amount of carbide phase up to \t}25% (the limit at which the malleability of the steel is retained). The carbide phase should consist of M7C3 and VC carbides.

  2. 2.

    Steel Kh12F4 and high-vanadium steels Kh3F12, Kh3F8, and KhG2F8 have the best wear resistance. However, steel Kh12F4 has a better combination of mechanical and technological properties (is ground more easily) and is recommended for manufacturing elements of blanking dies.

    Steels with a high vanadium content are recommended primarily for dies of simple shape that are not ground.

  3. 3.

    The heat treatment for steel Kh12F4M is quenching in oil from 1070\2-1090\dg and tempering at 170\2-190\dg to HRC 62\2-63 (for dies of simple shape) or at 200\2-230\dg to HRC 59\2-60 (for dies of complex shape).

  4. 4.

    It is not expedient to use graphitized steel for cold blanking dies.
