DC53 Cold Work Tool Steel

The utility of DC 53:
1. Excellent wear resistance: DC53 has a high level of chromium and carbon content, which gives it excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for applications where tools are subjected to abrasive wear.
2. Good toughness: DC53 also has good toughness, which allows it to withstand high impact loads without cracking or chipping. This makes it suitable for applications where tools are subjected to heavy use and high impact forces.
3. Easy machinability: DC53 is relatively easy to machine, which makes it easier to produce complex shapes and designs for cutting tools, dies, and molds.
4. Good dimensional stability: DC53 has good dimensional stability, which means that it maintains its shape and dimensions even under high temperatures and heavy loads. This makes it ideal for applications where precision and accuracy are crucial.

Product Description

DC53 Cold Work Tool Steel

1: DC53 Steel Introduction

DC53 steel is a new type of cold working die steel modified SKD11, and its technical specification is listed in Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) G4404. It overcomes the weakness of high temperature tempering hardness and toughness of SKD11, and will replace SKD11 in the field of general purpose and precision die. The toughness of DC53 is twice that of SKD11. The toughness of DC53 is more prominent in cold working die steel. The tool made of DC53 seldom has cracks and cracks, which greatly improves the service life. The DC53 tool steel has a uniform distribution of fine carbides. It has great galling and wear and fatigue resistance. It has also a High temper resistance to support PVD & nitride surface treatments. And it has Machining and grinding properties are superior to most other tool steels.

6: Heat Treatment

Forging
  Slowly and uniformly Heat the DC53 tool steel to 700°C (1292°F),then rapidly heat the DC53 steel to 900-1040°C(1652-1904°F). After forging slowly cool down.
Annealing
  Normal D53C annealing condition delivery, hardness 255HB MAX. When finished the DC53 Steel tool, then can heat treatment to appropriate hardness.
Hardening
  Heat slowly the DC53 tool steel to 850°C(1562°F), Soak thoroughly at the temperature. the brought up to 1030°C(1886°F)oil quenching or air cool.
Tempering
  Commonly performed DC53 Tempering is in a high Vacuum controlled convection furnace. The temper is perfect after Hardening. conducted as soon as the part can be hand at about 45° C (120° F) to 65° C (150° F). by High temperature tempering and hardening, hardness tool steel DC53 can reached 65 HRC MAX. common application ,we advice the Hardness no higher than 62HRC.

Heat Treatment
The DC53 Tool steel heat treatment process can be broken down into 4 segments, Hardening (quench) & Tempering.Annealing & Normalized.

7: Delivery Condition
For hot forged or hot rolled bar, usually the delivery condition is hot forged or rolled, annealed, rough turned.
For hot forged plate, usually the delivery condition is hot forged, annealed, milled surface.

For hot rolled plate, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed, black surface.
