Overview** JIS SKD8 is a tungsten‑chromium‑vanadium hot work tool steel characterized by its excellent **red hardness** and **high‑temperature strength**. Developed primarily for applications involving extreme thermal exposure, it retains hardness and resists softening at temperatures exceeding 600°C. Its alloy design also provides good resistance to thermal shock and moderate wear resistance, making it suitable for heavy‑duty hot‑work tooling. --- ### **2. Chemical Composition (Typical Weight %)** | Element | Content (%) | |---------|-------------| | C | 0.25–0.35 | | Si | 0.15–0.35 | | Mn | 0.15–0.45 | | Cr | 4.00–4.75 | | W | 4.50–5.50 | | V | 0.30–0.50 | | Mo | 0.30–0.50 | | P (max) | 0.030 | | S (max) | 0.020 | *Balance: Iron (Fe).* --- ### **3. Physical & Mechanical Properties** - **Density:** ~7.85 g/cm³ - **Thermal Conductivity:** ~28 W/m·K (at 20°C) - **Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:** ~12.0 ×10⁻⁶ /K (20–600°C) - **Hardness (Annealed):** ~217 HB - **Hardness (Hardened & Tempered):** 42–50 HRC (typical working range) - **Tempering Temperature Range:** 550–650°C - **Maximum Service Temperature:** ~650°C --- ### **4. Heat Treatment** - **Annealing:** Heat to 800–850°C, slow cool (~20°C/h) to 600°C, then air cool. - **Hardening:** Preheat at 800–850°C, austenitize at **1020–1080°C**, oil or air quench. - **Tempering:** Immediately temper at **550–650°C** for 2–3 hours; double tempering is recommended for dimensional stability. --- ### **5. Key Features** - **Superior Red Hardness:** Maintains hardness at very high temperatures due to tungsten and chromium content. - **Good Thermal Shock Resistance:** Suitable for tools subjected to rapid heating and cooling cycles. - **High‑Temperature Strength:** Resists deformation under heavy loads at elevated temperatures. - **Moderate Wear Resistance:** Suitable for abrasive hot‑work environments. --- ### **6. Typical Applications** SKD8 is used in demanding hot‑work processes where temperatures exceed those suitable for standard hot‑work steels: - **Hot Forging Dies:** For steel and alloy forgings (e.g., crankshafts, connecting rods). - **Die‑Casting Dies:** For high‑melting‑point alloys (e.g., brass, bronze, or large aluminum castings). - **Hot Extrusion Dies:** For steel or copper‑alloy extrusion. - **Hot‑Piercing Punches and Mandrels:** For piercing hot billets. - **Hot Shear Blades:** For cutting hot steel bars or billets. - **Glass‑Molding Tools:** For molds handling molten glass. --- ### **7. Equivalent Steel Grades (International Standards)** - **AISI/SAE (USA):** H19 (similar, but composition may vary) - **DIN (Germany):** 1.2601 / X30WCrV9-3 - **ISO:** 30WCrV9-3 - **GB (China):** 3Cr2W8V (closest equivalent, though W content differs) --- ### **8. Machining & Fabrication Notes** - **Machining:** Best performed in the annealed state; use carbide tools for optimal results. - **Grinding:** Use adequate cooling to prevent heat buildup and cracking. - **Welding:** Requires preheating (400–500°C) and post‑weld tempering; use matching electrodes. - **Surface Treatment:** Nitriding or hard‑facing can extend service life in abrasive applications. --- ### **9. Summary** JIS SKD8 is a high‑performance hot‑work tool steel designed for extreme‑temperature service. Its tungsten‑based composition provides exceptional hot hardness and thermal stability, making it a preferred choice for heavy‑duty forging, die‑casting, and extrusion tooling where thermal fatigue and high‑load conditions are critical. Conforming to JIS G4404, SKD8 ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial applications worldwide. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: JIS SKD8 Hot Work Tool Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <6806 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: JIS SKD8 Hot Work Tool Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
