Abstract

Provided are a steel that is for a die and that enables production of a die being for hot working and having both high hardness and high thermal conductivity; a die for hot working; and a manufacturing method for the same. The steel for a hot working die has a compositional makeup containing, in mass %, 0.45-0.65% of C, 0.1-0.6% of Si, 0.1-2.5% of Mn, 1.0-6.0% of Cr, 1.2-3.5% of (Mo+½W) where Mo and W are contained independently or in combination, 0.1-0.5% of V, 0.15-0.6% of Ni, 0.1-0.6% of Cu, and 0.1-0.6% of Al, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. Further, this die for hot working has said compositional makeup, and this manufacturing method is for manufacturing said die for hot working.

Claims (18)

1 . A steel for a hot working die having a compositional makeup containing, in mass %, 0.45-0.65% of C, 0.1-0.6% of Si, 0.1-2.5% of Mn, 1.0-6.0% of Cr, 1.2-3.5% of (Mo+½W) where Mo and W are contained independently or in combination, 0.1-0.5% of V, 0.15-0.6% of Ni, 0.1-0.6% of Cu, and 0.1-0.6% of Al, a balance being Fe and inevitable impurities.

2 . The steel for a hot working die according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the steel has been tempered at 575° C., a hardness is 52 HRC or higher.

3 . A die for hot working having a compositional makeup containing, in mass %, 0.45-0.65% of C, 0.1-0.6% of Si, 0.1-2.5% of Mn, 1.0-6.0% of Cr, 1.2-3.5% of (Mo+½W) where Mo and W are contained independently or in combination, 0.1-0.5% of V, 0.15-0.6% of Ni, 0.1-0.6% of Cu, and 0.1-0.6% of Al, a balance being Fe and inevitable impurities.

4 . The die for hot working according to claim 3 ,

wherein a hardness is 52 HRC or higher, and a thermal conductivity is 25 W/(m·K) or higher.

5 . The die for hot working according to claim 3 , comprising:

a nitrided layer on a work surface.

6 . A manufacturing method for a die for hot working,

wherein the steel for a hot working die according to claim 1 is quenched at a quenching temperature of 1020-1080° C. and tempered at a tempering temperature of 540-620° C.

7 . The manufacturing method for a die for hot working according to claim 6 ,

wherein, after the quenching and the tempering, a nitriding treatment is further carried out on a work surface.

8 . The die for hot working according to claim 4 , comprising:

a nitrided layer on a work surface.

9 . A manufacturing method for a die for hot working,

wherein the steel for a hot working die according to claim 2 is quenched at a quenching temperature of 1020-1080° C. and tempered at a tempering temperature of 540-620° C.

10 . The manufacturing method for a die for hot working according to claim 9 ,

wherein, after the quenching and the tempering, a nitriding treatment is further carried out on a work surface.
