Die steel is a specialized type of alloy steel used in the production of molds for forging or die-casting processes. Depending on the operating conditions, mold steels are generally categorized into two main types: cold work die steel and hot work die steel. Hot work die steel is specifically designed for applications involving the shaping of molten metal or hot metal components. To perform effectively under such harsh conditions, this type of steel must possess high thermal stability, excellent wear resistance, adequate toughness, superior heat fatigue resistance, good hardenability, and strong oxidation resistance.
However, internal defects that may occur during the manufacturing process can significantly affect the performance and durability of the final product. Common issues include chemical segregation, non-metallic inclusions, and hydrogen-induced white spots. These imperfections can compromise the structural integrity of the component and have a detrimental impact on its heat treatment process. Such defects often lead to premature failure or reduced service life of the mold.
This paper aims to investigate the influence of these internal defects by examining real-world cracking cases observed in die steel components. Through detailed analysis, we will explore how these flaws affect the mechanical properties and overall reliability of the workpiece, as well as discuss potential strategies for prevention and improvement. The findings of this study are intended to provide valuable insights for both researchers and industry professionals involved in the design, production, and maintenance of die steel tools.
