Innovative tool steel market

Under the background of the better and better prospect of the mold market, the mold steel has also developed rapidly, and the market demand has increased significantly. According to the usage, die steel is generally divided into three categories, namely, cold working die steel, hot working die steel and plastic die steel.

Cold working die steel is mainly used to manufacture dies for pressing and forming cold work pieces, such as cold stamping dies, cold drawing dies, etc; Hot work die steel is mainly used to manufacture dies for pressing and forming workpieces at high temperature, such as die-casting dies, hot extrusion dies, etc; The use of plastic mold steel has become very extensive due to the variety of plastics, such as permeable plastic mold steel, pre hardened plastic mold steel, etc.

On the whole, the demand for all kinds of die steel has increased significantly, and the future development will continue to be good.

However, the development direction of die steel in China will change in the future. Firstly, with the trend of large-scale mold forming, the demand for large-scale mold steel is expected to increase year by year; Secondly, the market's requirements for mold accuracy are constantly improving, and mold steel will develop towards high quality, high precision and good stability; Finally, the medium and high-grade die steel has been further popularized, and the demand for plastic die steel and die-casting die steel has maintained an upward trend.

In the above direction, the development of die steel industry should focus on the following five aspects.

First, strengthen the theoretical research on die steel steadily, and lay a foundation for the development of die steel from the perspective of quality and performance;

Second, pay close attention to the dynamic changes of market demand, and study the types of die steel with diversified specifications and products;

Third, scientific and rational use of emerging information technology to achieve specialized production of die steel;

Fourth, take plastic mold steel as the development focus of mold steel industry in the future to fill the vacancy of medium and high-end steel products;

Fifthly, pay attention to the brand building of die steel, innovate the sales mode of "steel store", and actively participate in the international market competition.
