4Cr13 stainless steel mold described 4Cr13 Standard: GB / T 1220-1992 

 ● Features and Scope: 

 4Cr13 die steels after quenching hardness higher than 3Cr13, good corrosion resistance. Use for cutting tools, nozzle, valve seats and so on. 1Cr17Ni2 features strong corrosion resistance to nitric acid and organic acids. Use as high hardness and high wear resistance of heat pumps, valves, valve bearings, medical devices, such as spring components.

 4cr13 mechanical properties of stainless steel 
 ● Mechanical Properties: Hardness: Annealed,, ≤ 201HB, indentation diameter of 3.9 ~ 4.3mm; quenching, ≥ 50HV 

 ● Heat treatment and microstructure specifications: 

 Heat treatment specifications: 1) annealing, 800 ~ 900 ℃ slow cooling or rapid cooling of about 750 ℃; 2) quenching, 1050 ~ 1100 ℃ oil cooling 

 ; 3) temper, 200 ~ 300 ℃ fast-cooling.

 Delivery Status 
 ● Delivery status: Delivery of steel in the annealed condition. Forging: Cold oil quenched die steel has some cracking susceptibility, forging heating should not be heated quickly, preferably in a warm-up to 650-750 degrees, forging heating temperature of 1130-1150 degrees, the final forging temperature should be greater than 800 - 850 degrees, take the upper limit of steel ingot forging temperature. Forging billet lower temperature to take 

 Annealing: 

 General annealing using 780-800 degrees, heat 4-6 hours to ≤ 50 degrees / hour, cooled to 550 degrees baked air-cooled, isothermal annealing using 700-800 degree heat 2-4 sales, then 670-720 degree heat, to keep 2-4 hours to ≤ 50 degrees / hour cooling rate, cooling air-cooled baked to 500 degrees, annealed hardness of 241-197HB
