Abstract
Large forged steel blooms are employed to fabricate molds for
plastics used in the automotive industry. Each mold is expected to
produce a few millions of pieces in its life. Wear under service
conditions may be severe and may combine with other stresses to
cause crack nucleation and failure.
The present manufacturing process consists of machining
pre-hardened blooms. The dimensions of the blooms use to exceed
the hardenability of the steel, thus different microstructures occur at
increasing depths, all of them being affected by the subsequent
tempering.
Due to finishing operations, any of the microstructures occurring at
different positions in the original bloom can be found at the mold
face. Thus, steel properties and wear resistance should be studied
as a function of the microstructure.
