  • the composition may contain Cr : 0.30 ⁇ 1.0 %.
  • N may be regulated to 0.0050 % or less.
  • the TiN inclusion in the steel material it is preferable that the TiN inclusion larger than 10 micron m in the equivalent circular diameter may be 2 % of the whole or less.
  • the age-hardening steel according to the present invention has a small ratio of dimensional change in the heat treatment, so that it is possible to reduce the machining man power in the manufacturing of the die-casting dies and to improve the dimensional accuracy of the die-casting dies as well.
  • Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the heat check resistance and the Charpy impact value respectively relating to the solubility product of Co(%) and Mo(%) based on the example of the present invention.
  • the present inventor When researching the technical measures to improve the heat check resistance and the ratio of dimensional change in the heat treatment for the age-hardening steel for die -casting dies, the present inventor has obtain a knowledge that the reduction of the Ni quantity and the addition of the proper Cr quantity are effective to the reduction of the ratio of dimensional change in the ageing treatment.
  • the reduction of the Ni quantity results in the rising of the austenitic transformation point (As point) and contributes to the improvement of the heat check resistance.
  • the temperature of the As point is low, according to the heating operation of the molten metal during the use of the die-casting dies, the surface stratum of the die is liable to austenitize from the martensitic structure, and it promotes the generation of the cracks.
  • the As point is caused to be high, this problem can be prevented, so that it is possible to improve the heat check resistance.
  • the ratio of dimensional change in the heat treatment is caused to be small according to the addition of the appropriate Cr quantity.
  • the addition of Cr causes to lower the As point, so that it is feared that the heat check resistance may be made inferior.
  • the adding quantity of Cr is controlled under the certain level.
  • the preferred content of Cr is in 0.30 ⁇ 1.0 % and the quantity of N is preferable to be as little as possible.
  • the increase of N results in the deposition of the TiN, and thereby the low cycle fatigue property of the die-casting dies is made inferior, wherein the low cycle fatigue is the phenomenon that the casting die is broken under the big die-tightening force, for example.
  • the N quantity is as little as possible.
  • the extreme minimization of N results in the rising of the manufacturing cost, so that it is preferable that the upper limit of the N quantity is set in 0.0050 % even when the quantity of N is made as little as possible.
  • the TiN particles larger than 10 micron m in the equivalent circular diameter may be 2% of the whole or less.
  • Si causes the toughness inferior, it is necessary that Si is made 0.10 % or less.
  • Mn ⁇ 0.10 %
  • Mn is controlled to 0.10 % or less because it produces the MnS inclusion combining with S so as to make the toughness inferior.
  • Ni 9.0 ⁇ 11.0 %
  • Ni is an essential element to form a matrix superior in the toughness in a solid solution of Fe.
  • the quantity of depositing material increases along with the increase of the adding quantity, so that it causes to extend the ratio of age shrinkage (ratio of dimensional change).
  • the austenitic transformation point As lowers to make the heat check resistance inferior. Since the surface of the casting die is exposed to the molten aluminum in high temperature of 600 ⁇ 650 °C , for example, it is required that the As point is over the arriving surface temperature. For that purpose, it is necessary that Ni may be 11.0 % or less. However, if the adding quantity of Ni is less than 9.0 %, the necessary toughness can not be assured. For that reason, the content of Ni is set in 9.0 ⁇ 11.0 % in the present invention. Cr : 0.10 ⁇ 5.0 %
  • the increase of the Co quantity has an effect to promote the age hardening property because it results in the lowering of the solubility degree of Mo in the solid solution.
  • Ti is a hardening element which forms Ni 3 Ti and contributes the age-hardening
  • the excessive addition of Ti causes to deposit TiN and to make the toughness and the low cycle fatigue property inferior.
  • the Ms point is caused to lower, so that the Ti segregation band becomes the retained austenitic band, and also the austenitic transformation point is caused to lower, so that the heat check resistance is made inferior. Consequently, the upper limit of Ti is set in 1.0 %.
  • Al is a component to be added as a deoxidizer and contributes even to the age-hardening together with Ti. However, when it is under 0.05 %, the age-hardening property is insufficient, and on the contrary, when it is over 0.15 %, the toughness is made inferior. Consequently, Al is set in 0.05 ⁇ 0.15 % in the present invention. N : ⁇ 0.0050 %
  • the quantity of N may be reduced as far as possible.
  • the extreme minimization of N results in rising of the manufacturing cost, so that the upper limit is set in 0.0050 %.
  • the particles become the starting points of fracture in the portion under the die-tightening force, the teeming stress or the thermal stress. As a result, it causes the lowering of the low cycle fatigue property and even the big fracture of the casting die. Consequently, it is required that the particles of TiN inclusion larger than 10 micron m may be 2 % of the whole or less. 30 ⁇ Co (%) x Mo (%) ⁇ 50
  • the solubility product of Co (%) x Mo (%) indicates the age-hardening property, and when this solubility product is reduced, also the aged hardness is lowered. As a result, it restrains the toughness from lowering due to the reduction of the Ni quantity and results in the assurance of the toughness. Consequently, the upper limit of this value is set in 50.

  • the measurements of the ratio of dimensional change by ageing were performed respectively in the longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) directions of the block test piece of 210 mm L x 130 mm W x 45 mm t.
  • the low cycle fatigue test was carried out by examining the number of the repeated times to result in the fracture when the one-side tension was repeatedly applied to the test piece along the single axis under the maximum stress of 123 kgf/ mm 2 .
  • the comparative example 18, in which the content of Ni is out of the range limited in the present invention, is low in As point and inferior in the heat check resistance; the comparative example 19, which contains Ni : 18 %, is extremely low in As point and also remarkably inferior in heat check resistance although it shows a good figure of the Charpy impact value.
  • the figures 1 (A) and 1 (B) show the heat check resistance and the Charpy impact value respectively relating to the solubility product of Co and Mo based on the results of Table 2. Referring to those figures, it will be seen that the good results are obtained either in the heat check resistance or in the Charpy impact value by controlling the solubility product of Co and Mo in the range of 30 ⁇ 50.
