The invention discloses low-
vanadium nitrogenous
hot work die steel and a manufacturing method of the low-
vanadium nitrogenous
hot work die steel. The low-
vanadium nitrogenous
hot work die steel comprises, by
mass percentage, 0.3%-0.4% of C, 0.2%-0.6% of Si, 0.2%-0.5% of Mn, 4.5%-5.5% of Cr, 1.1%-1.7% of Mo, 0.4%-0.6% of V, 0.02%-0.07% of N, 0.005%-0.03% of Ce, 0.001%-0.006% of Mg and the balance Fe. The method comprises the following steps of (1)
smelting molten steel according to the set components, and carrying out
nitrogen increasing by adopting a gas-phase
nitriding method, and conducting pouring operation; (2) conducting homogenizing operation at the temperature
ranging from 1200 DEG C to 1250 DEG C; (3) conducting
forging operation; (4) conducting normalizing operation at the temperature
ranging from 1000 DEG C to 1100 DEG C; (5) conducting spheroidizing annealing operation; (6) conducting heat preservation at the temperature
ranging from 1000 DEG C to 1050 DEG C, conducting
oil cooling and accomplishing
quenching; and (7) carrying out heat preservation at the temperature ranging from 530 DEG C to 620 DEG C for 2-6 hours twice, and conducting
tempering. According to the components of the low-vanadium nitrogenous hot work die steel, the content of vanadium and the content of
silicon are reduced, the proper amount of
nitrogen is added, the trace amount of
rare earth and the trace amount of
magnesium are cooperatively added, the cleanliness of the steel is improved, the
carbide distribution effect is improved, and finally the performance of the die steel is improved.
