In the field of mold manufacturing, precision and efficiency are the core requirements for supporting the stable operation of the production line. The SKD61 mold insert, as a key precision part, is widely used in various high-demand mold systems due to its excellent material performance, strict precision control, and efficient delivery cycle.
The SKD61 mold insert is made of high-quality SKD61 hot work die steel, which is a Japanese JIS standard alloy tool steel corresponding to China’s 4Cr5MoSiV1 and the United States’ H13 material, with high international versatility. This material is smelted by electric slag remelting process, which ensures pure steel quality and uniform structure, laying a solid foundation for the precision and durability of mold inserts.
The key performance advantages of SKD61 material are reflected in multiple aspects: it contains chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and other alloy elements, which endow the insert with excellent high-temperature strength and wear resistance, and can maintain stable mechanical properties even when working continuously at 600°C. Its outstanding thermal fatigue resistance can effectively resist the damage caused by repeated heating and cooling cycles in the mold working process, avoiding cracks and extending the service life of the insert. After standardized heat treatment, the surface hardness of SKD61 can reach HRC48-52, while the core toughness is well retained, achieving a perfect balance between hardness and toughness. In addition, SKD61 has good machinability and polishing performance, which can meet the strict precision requirements of precision parts processing.
