What kind of steel is Asp60? Asp60 is a high wear-resistant high cobalt powder high-speed steel and a high alloy powder high-speed steel. The content of cobalt and vanadium is very high. It is manufactured by powder metallurgy technology, so Asp60 is very uniform and wear-resistant. Asp60 has very good dimensional stability after hardening, just like 100-100 ASP series steel in Sweden.

asp60具有良好的可磨性和韧性，特别是其热硬度和耐磨性优于其他asp系列材料。Asp60是模具材料中耐磨的材料。在所有模具钢中，asp60的耐磨性好，仅次于硬质合金。然而，asp60的韧性比硬质合金好得多，比钨钢(硬质合金)好得多所以现在asp60广泛应用于各种高速切削刀具和冷挤压模具中

Asp60 has good grindability and toughness, especially its thermal hardness and wear resistance are better than other ASP series materials. Asp60 is a wear-resistant material in die materials. Among all die steels, Asp60 has good wear resistance, second only to cemented carbide. However, the toughness of Asp60 is much better than that of cemented carbide and tungsten steel (cemented carbide), so now Asp60 is widely used in various high-speed cutting tools and cold extrusion dies

有什么好处ASP60的出厂硬度是HB340。热处理后，硬度可达70℃。淬火温度为1150~1190℃，ASP60的密度略高于普通钢。普通钢的密度为7.85，不同于模具钢。例如，模具钢用于制造模具，如冷模和热锻模模具是机械制造、无线电仪器、电机、电器等工业部门制造零件的主要加工工具。模具的质量直接影响压力加工工艺的质量、产品的精度、产量和生产成本，而模具的质量和使用寿命除了合理的结构设计和加工精度外，主要受模具材料和热处理的影响。

What are the benefits? The factory hardness of Asp60 is hb340. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach 70 ℃. The quenching temperature is 1150 ~ 1190 ℃, and the density of Asp60 is slightly higher than that of ordinary steel. The density of ordinary steel is 7.85, which is different from die steel. For example, die steel is used to manufacture dies, such as cold dies and hot forging dies. Dies are the main processing tools for manufacturing parts in industrial departments such as machinery manufacturing, radio instruments, motors and electrical appliances. The quality of die directly affects the quality of pressure machining process, product accuracy, output and production cost. In addition to reasonable structural design and machining accuracy, the quality and service life of die are mainly affected by die material and heat treatment.

模具钢可以大致分为三种类型:冷轧模具钢、热轧模具钢和塑料模具钢，它们用于锻造、冲压、切割、压铸等。由于各种模具的用途不同，工作条件复杂，模具用钢应根据其制造的模具的工作条件，具有高硬度、强度、耐磨性、足够的韧性、高淬透性、硬化能力等工艺性能。由于用途不同，工作条件复杂，模具钢的性能要求也不同。

Die steel can be roughly divided into three types: cold-rolled die steel, hot-rolled die steel and plastic die steel, which are used for forging, stamping, cutting, die casting and so on. Due to the different purposes and complex working conditions of various molds, the steel for molds shall have high hardness, strength, wear resistance, sufficient toughness, high hardenability, hardening ability and other process properties according to the working conditions of the molds manufactured. Due to different uses and complex working conditions, the performance requirements of die steel are also different.
