一次耐磨性

毛坯在型腔中塑性变性时，沿型腔表面流动和滑动，使型腔表面和坯料之间产生剧烈摩擦，造成模具磨损而失效。因此，材料的耐磨性是模具基本、重要的性能之一。

影响耐磨性能的主要因素是硬度。一般说来，模具零件的硬度越高，磨损量就越小，耐磨性就越好。此外，材料中碳化物的种类、数量、形态、大小和分布也有一定的关系。

二次强韧性

大多数模具的工作环境都是非常恶劣的，一些模具经常承受很大的冲击载荷，从而导致脆性断裂。为了防止模具零件在工作时突然脆断，要求模具具有高强度和高韧性。
Second Strength and toughness most of the mold working environment is very bad, some mold often bear a large impact load, resulting in brittle fracture. In order to prevent the die parts from brittle fracture during working, the die is required to have high strength and high toughness. Oh, Shit

三次疲劳断裂特性

在模具工作过程中，由于循环应力的长期作用，常导致疲劳断裂。它具有小能量多次冲击疲劳断裂、拉伸断裂接触疲劳断裂和弯曲疲劳断裂。
In the process of die working, the fatigue fracture is often caused by the long-term effect of Cyclic stress. It has low energy multiple impact fatigue fracture, tensile contact fatigue fracture and bending fatigue fracture.

四次高温性

工作温度过高时，模具的硬度和强度都会降低，导致模具早期磨损或产生塑性变形而失效。由于模具材料应具有较高的抗回火稳定性，以确保模具在工作温度下有较高的硬度和强度。
The hardness and strength of the die will decrease when the working temperature is too high for four times of high temperature, which will lead to early wear or plastic deformation of the die. Due to the mold material should have high anti-tempering stability, to ensure that the mold in the working temperature has a higher hardness and strength.

五次抗冷、热疲劳特性

有的模具在工作过程中反复受热和冷却，使型腔表面受到拉力、压力变应力的作用，造成表面龟裂、剥落，增大摩擦力，阻碍塑性变形，降低尺寸精度，造成模具失效。冷、热疲劳是热作模主要失效形式之一，有利于此类模具具有较高的抗冷热疲劳性能。
Five times cold resistance, thermal fatigue characteristics some molds are heated and cooled repeatedly in the course of work, causing the cavity surface to be subjected to the action of tension and pressure strain stress, resulting in surface cracking, spalling, increasing friction, and hindering plastic deformation, reduce the dimensional accuracy, resulting in mold failure. Cold and hot fatigue is one of the main failure forms of hot working dies, which is beneficial to the high cold and hot fatigue resistance of this kind of dies.

六抗腐蚀

有的模具钢如塑料模具在工作时，由于塑料中含有氯、氟等元素，受热分解析出的强腐蚀气体，对型腔内的表面产生腐蚀，加大了其表面粗糙度，加剧了磨损失效。

Anti-corrosion some molds such as plastic mold in work, because the plastic contains chlorine, fluorine and other elements, heat decomposition of the strong corrosion gas, on the mold cavity surface corrosion, increased its Surface roughness, accelerated wear failure.
