What material is generally used for die casting die core? What is commonly used? Which material is economical and cost-effective? Let's listen to the sharing of masters from various mold factories:

Mold factory a:

At present, H13 is the most widely used material for die casting die. This material has high cost performance, so it is widely used. Secondly, there is 3Cr2W8V, which is often used to make cold chamber die-casting molds. Others include SKD61, which is relatively expensive. It is often used to make molds with high requirements and large orders.

Mold factory B:

Hot die steel is used as the die core material. There are too many SKD61, DAC, dh-31, 8407, 8418, H13, 3Cr2W8V, 4Cr5MoSiV, 1.2344, W302, etc. Most die frames are made of cast steel, nodular cast iron, medium carbon steel, etc. For example, qt550, QT600, S50C.

Mold factory C:

General h132344, SKD61, advanced h138407, advanced h112343, vidars, dievar and qro90s are commonly used materials. Dievar is the latest development of tool steel. It has high ductility, toughness and red hardness. For aluminum and copper die casting, the specific selection depends on customer requirements (mold budget cost and product demand and quality) and design method.

The components of the above materials are similar, which can be selected according to your needs.
