APPLICATION
1.2363 steel is widely used in cold processing fields such as punching dies, cold extrusion dies, and cold heading dies. Specially suitable for manufacturing precision molds such as stretching molds, edge rolling molds, embossing molds, as well as wear-resistant plastic molding molds and cutting tools. In industries such as automotive, electronics, and rail transit, it is used to manufacture hardware cold stamping dies and large complex stamping dies with high lifespan requirements.
1.2363 STEEL CHARACTERISTICS
1.2363 steel is a high carbon medium chromium air quenched cold work die steel with high hardness, high wear resistance, and good toughness. Its air quenched deformation is small, and the distribution of carbides is uniform, making it suitable for manufacturing high-precision and long-life cold work dies, such as punching dies and cold extrusion dies.
In terms of mechanical properties, the hardness of 1.2363 steel can reach 58-62HRC after heat treatment, and even 60-64HRC after quenching. It has excellent compressive strength, small air quenching deformation, uniform distribution of carbides, high wear resistance and good toughness. This balanced mechanical performance enables it to withstand large impact loads, making it particularly suitable for mold applications in complex stress environments.
In terms of heat treatment characteristics, 1.2363 steel exhibits excellent air quenching performance. The ideal combination of hardness and toughness can be achieved through quenching at 940-980 ℃ and tempering at 350-540 ℃. The addition of molybdenum significantly improves tempering stability, while vanadium refines grain size, ensuring excellent dimensional stability after heat treatment and controlling deformation within the range of 0.02-0.05mm.
In terms of processing characteristics, 1.2363 steel has good mechanical processing performance, with an annealed hardness of ≤ 235HBS, making it easy to cut and form. After quenching, it still maintains high dimensional stability and is suitable for manufacturing high-precision molds. The electrical discharge machining has excellent performance, and the surface polishing can achieve a mirror effect, meeting the surface requirements of precision molds.
In terms of corrosion resistance, 1.2363 steel has better corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel with a chromium content of about 5%. Although not as good as stainless steel (with a chromium content of ≥ 12%), it can effectively resist oxidation and slight corrosion in the working environment of molds, making it particularly suitable for mold applications in humid or corrosive media.
