Die steel: matrix for die manufacturing (II)
Research and development of new die steel materials Mr. Ukamura: DRM was developed by Japan's Datong special steel in recent years. In order to achieve a high hardness and high toughness base high-speed steel, it can reduce the coarse carbides to the limit, increase the service life and reduce the mold cost. The reason why it is called base high-speed steel is that it is different from ordinary high-speed steel in that after heat treatment, crystalline carbide (primary carbide) and precipitated carbide (secondary carbide) still exist and cannot be dissolved into the matrix, while DRM base high-speed steel can be…
