Forged SM1 Plastic Mold Steel Plate

 
SM1 (Y55CrNiMnMoV) is a domestically produced free cutting pre hardened plastic mold steel with good forging properties. After forging, good cutting performance can be obtained by spheroidizing annealing, and the final pre hardened hardness is 35-40HRC. It is commonly used in high-precision and high smoothness plastic molds.

Product Advantage

  • Pre hardened state (35-40HRC) easy to cut, no heat treatment after processing, small deformation

  • Excellent mirror polishing, Ra≤0.1μm, Suitable for high smoothness plastic parts

  • Good toughness, better corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel, and can be strengthened by nitriding

  • Replace imported steel with high cost-effectiveness

3. Key Points Of Forging Process
  • Heating temperature: 1150 ℃ (uniform burning, anti overheating)

  • Initial forging temperature: 1050-1100 ℃

  • Final forging temperature: ≥ 850 ℃ (to avoid cold forging cracking)

  • Cooling after forging: Slow cooling (heap cooling/sand cooling, anti white spots and cracking)

  • Applicable: Large/complex cavity molds, thick plate forgings

4. Post Forging Heat Treatment (Key)
  • Isothermal spheroidization annealing (softening)

  • Heating: 800-810 ℃, insulation for 2-4 hours

  • Isothermal: 680 ℃, insulation for 4-6 hours

  • Cool the furnace to 550 ℃ and remove it from the furnace, with a hardness of ≤ 200HBW, making it easy to cut

  • Quenching+tempering (pre hardening)

  • Quenching: 820-840 ℃ oil quenching, hardness 58-60HRC

  • Tempering: 620-650 ℃, holding for 3 hours, hardness 35-40HRC (delivered in pre hardened state)

Product Uses

  • Household appliance shell mold (washing machine, air conditioner, tape recorder)

  • Electronic/instrument precision injection molds, relay component molds

  • Toys, daily necessities, transparent parts molds (need polishing)
