  • Cr12MoV

1. Product Details Overview

Cr12MoV is a classic high-carbon, high-chromium cold work die steel that holds a pivotal position in mold manufacturing and mechanical processing due to its exceptional comprehensive mechanical properties. This product is produced using premium scrap steel as raw material through electric arc furnace smelting and electroslag remelting refining processes. Its precise and controllable chemical composition effectively reduces impurity content while ensuring uniform and dense internal structure. The core features are particularly outstanding: Combining high hardness with exceptional wear resistance, it achieves HRC60-64 hardness after appropriate heat treatment, enabling it to withstand high-intensity friction and impact while extending die service life. Excellent hardenability ensures uniform quenched structure even in thicker cross-sections, preventing defects like uneven hardness. With inherent toughness and temper stability, it resists fractures and deformation during prolonged use, meeting complex industrial processing requirements. Whether for precision stamping, cold extrusion, shearing, or forming applications, Cr12MoV delivers stable performance to reliably enhance production efficiency and product accuracy, making it an indispensable high-quality die steel material in industrial manufacturing.

3. Product Details

1. Appearance details

The Cr12MoV product features a clean and defect-free appearance: The sheet surface is smooth and flawless, with no cracks, inclusions, or porosity. The edges are free of burrs, and the cutting surface is perfectly aligned. Dimensional accuracy is rigorously controlled, with deviations strictly within industry standards. The round steel exhibits uniform coloration without oxide scale buildup, maintains consistent diameter, and shows no significant bending or deformation. The module's forging marks are evenly distributed, and the surface has undergone rough machining to facilitate subsequent precision grinding. The overall appearance boasts an excellent texture, showcasing high-quality manufacturing processes.


2. Internal organization details

Metallographic analysis reveals that the internal microstructure of Cr12MoV steel consists of fine needle-like martensite and carbides, with uniformly distributed and finely dispersed carbides showing no significant aggregation. The average grain size is controlled at 8 or above, effectively enhancing the steel's hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. Through the electroslag remelting process, internal impurities are thoroughly removed, resulting in extremely low occurrence rates of defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity. The density reaches over 99.8%, ensuring that the steel will not fracture or fail due to internal defects during long-term high-strength use, thereby guaranteeing the stability of mold operation.


3. Performance Details

- Hardness: The annealed state hardness is ≤255HBW, while quenching and tempering can achieve HRC60-64. The hardness distribution is uniform with a deviation of no more than ±1HRC, effectively resisting friction and wear between the mold and workpiece, thereby extending the mold's service life.

- Impact toughness: αk ≥ 20 J/cm² (at room temperature), maintaining sufficient toughness even at-20°C to prevent mold fracture caused by low-temperature brittleness, meeting diverse regional and operational requirements.

- Wear resistance: Tests show its wear rate is only 1/5-1/3 of ordinary carbon steel. In high-frequency friction scenarios like stamping and extrusion, it maintains mold surface precision while reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.

- Hardenability: The core maintains hardness above HRC58 after quenching at a 200mm thickness, eliminating the need for additional cooling measures, simplifying heat treatment processes, and reducing production costs.


IV. Product Advantages
