The invention relates to a high-
hardness high-
polishing pre-hardening plastic die steel and a manufacture technology thereof, which belongs to the technical field of
alloy steel manufacture technology. The steel is characterized in that the
alloy chemical component comprises the following
alloy elements by
mass percentages: 0.25-0.40% of C, 0.10-0.30% of Si, 1.50-2.00% of Mn, 1.50-2.50% of Cr, 0.50-1.00% of Mo, 0.10-0.30% of V, less than or equal to 0.025% of P, less than or equal to 0.005% of S, 0.60-1.50% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.15% of Nb, and the balance of Fe. The manufacture method comprises the following steps: burdening,
smelting, pouring, performing hot delivery; performing high-temperature diffusing heat treatment, then performing multi-directional
forging and hot
processing, normalizing on fine grains and dehydrogenizing and annealing; and finally
quenching and performing temper heat treatment to obtain the tempered structure with
hardness of 38-42HRC. The steel of the invention has the advantages of low cost, high
hardenability, high
hardness, high
polishing performance and dermatoglyph
etching performance.
