7Mn15Cr2Al13V2WMo Magnetic die steel 7Mn15 magnetic die steel is a kind of high strength austenitic type magnetic die steel, in various states can maintain stable austenite, and has very low permeability, high temperature strength and hardness, and high wear resistance, but the steel machinability is poor, need to undergo high temperature annealing, change the carbon Particle size and distribution of compounds. Using gas nitrogen carburizing heat treatment, can further improve the surface hardness, wear resistance, so as to improve the service life of the die.
