The invention relates to aluminum-containing hot
extrusion mold steel and a production method thereof. According to the hot
extrusion mold steel, the content of C is increased on the basis of H13 steel, the contents of Si, Cr and Mo are decreased, the total content of the
alloy is about 2.5-3.5% less than that of H13, and the hot
extrusion mold steel comprises the following main alloying elementsin percentage by
mass: 0.45-0.60% of C, less than or equal to 0.30% of Si, less than or equal to 0.30% of Mn, 3.00-4.50% of Cr, 0.30-0.80% of Mo, 0.30-0.60% of V, 0.50-0.90% of Al, less than 0.015% ofP, less than 0.015% of S and the balance of Fe. High
tempering resistance is obtained by balancing the Cr and Mo, and Al is added into the matrix so as to form an AlN highly wear-resistant strengthening phase by virtue of surface
nitriding treatment. The preparation method of the steel in the invention comprises the following steps: compounding,
smelting,
casting, performing electro-
slag remelting and annealing; performing high-temperature homogenized heat treatment, multi-directional
forging and annealing; performing superfine heat treatment and
isothermal annealing treatment; finally performing
quenching and
tempering treatment. The hot extrusion mold steel disclosed by the invention has the advantages of
high wear resistance, excellent
tempering resistance and the like under the conditions that the steel cost is low and
toughness is equivalent to that of the H13 steel.
