Research Progress of Cold Working Die Steel

Abstract:

Working conditions, failure forms and property requirements of cold working die steels were presented. This review attempted to introduce the development of cold working die steels, the ways to improve its quality, heat treatment and surface treatment technology at home and abroad. Meanwhile, the characteristic and application prospects of spray-formed cold working die steels were analyzed.
