Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The total deformation of a sample under the influence of thermal cycling and uniaxial stress characterizes the resistance to thermal fatigue of die-casting molds.

  2. 2.

    Experimental determination of the deformation makes it possible to calculate the number of cycles to failure of die-casting molds due to thermal fatigue.

  3. 3.

    Calculating the thermal fatigue by the method proposed makes it possible to compare different steels. It is recommended that these calculations be made in selecting materials for die-casting molds.

  4. 4.

    Maraging steel N21M2T2B is a promising material for die-casting molds used for aluminum alloys.
