For the mold steel, according to the working conditions of the mold, should have a high hardness, strength, wear resistance, adequate toughness, and high hardenability, hardening and other process performance. In the mold production costs, the material costs generally accounted for 10-20%, while the mechanical processing, heat treatment, assembly and management costs accounted for more than 80%, so the mold material process performance is the main factor to effect mold production costs and manufacturing difficulties.
