This paper introduces the development and application prospect of new die materials for hot die forging. Firstly, the importance of hot die forging die materials is summarized, and then the research and development process, performance characteristics and advantages of new die materials are described in detail. Then, the application cases and effects of new die materials in hot die forging are discussed. Finally, the future development prospect of new die materials in the field of hot die forging is prospected.
As an important metal forming process, hot die forging is widely used in automotive, aerospace, energy and other fields. In the process of hot die forging, the performance and life of the die have an important impact on product quality and production efficiency. Therefore, the development of high-performance and long-life die materials is of great significance for the development of hot die forging industry.
In recent years, with the continuous progress of material science and engineering technology, new mold materials have gradually emerged. These new mold materials usually have high hardness, high thermal stability, excellent wear resistance and fatigue resistance. Through reasonable composition design and advanced preparation technology, the new mold material can meet the requirements of high temperature, high pressure and high stress in the process of hot die forging.
Compared with traditional mold materials, the new mold materials have the following performance characteristics and advantages:
High hardness: The new mold material has higher hardness, which can effectively resist the deformation and wear of the metal billet and improve the life of the mold.
High thermal stability: The new mold material can maintain good mechanical properties and chemical stability under high temperature environment to ensure the smooth process of hot die forging.
Excellent wear resistance: The new mold material has excellent wear resistance, which can reduce the wear and repair frequency of the mold and reduce the production cost.
Anti-fatigue performance: The new mold material has good anti-fatigue performance, can withstand the repeated action of high stress, and extend the service life of the mold.
The new mold material has been successfully applied in the process of hot die forging in many fields. For example, an automobile manufacturing enterprise uses a new mold material for hot die forging production, and finds that the mold life is increased by 30%, and the product qualification rate is increased by 5%. At the same time, due to the excellent performance of the new mold material, the number of mold replacement and maintenance is reduced, the production cost and downtime are reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of the industrial field, the application prospect of new die materials for hot die forging will be broader. In the future, the following development directions can be foreseen:
Material innovation: Continue to develop new mold materials with higher performance and longer life to meet the ever-upgrading industrial needs.
Intelligent manufacturing: Combining advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to realize the intelligent design, manufacturing and application of new mold materials.
Green and environmental protection: Develop environmentally friendly new mold materials, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, and promote the sustainable development of hot die forging industry.
International cooperation: Strengthen international research and cooperation to promote the global promotion and application of new mold materials.
In short, the development and application of new die materials for hot die forging have brought significant benefits and progress to the hot die forging industry. In the future development, with the continuous innovation of technology and the promotion of market demand, new mold materials will continue to play an important role and usher in broader development prospects.
