Kuumtööriistaterase

Kuumtööriistaterase is a type of tool steel designed to maintain its hardness and strength at elevated temperatures. This property makes it suitable for applications where tools are subjected to significant heat during operation, such as in metalworking, forging, and die casting. Kuumtööriistaterase alloys are typically characterized by their high alloy content, including elements like tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium. These alloying elements contribute to improved hot hardness, wear resistance, and toughness.

The primary function of kuumtööriistaterase is to resist softening and deformation when exposed to high temperatures, often exceeding 500 degrees Celsius. This is crucial for tools that experience friction and heat during cutting, shaping, or molding processes. Without these specialized steels, tools would quickly lose their edge and shape, leading to inefficient production and frequent replacement.

Common applications for kuumtööriistaterase include hot forging dies, extrusion dies, die-casting dies, shear blades used for hot metal, and various components in plastic injection molding where high temperatures are encountered. The specific grade of kuumtööriistaterase used depends on the operating temperature, the type of material being worked, and the required performance characteristics. Proper heat treatment is essential to achieve the desired properties in these steels.
