Notes:
It is well known that the main failure mechanisms in die-casting mould are heat checkingdue to thermal fatigue and melt-out caused by chemical reaction between die and molten alloys.Thermal fatigue tests were carried out using the thermal cycle simulator to establish the propermethod to estimate the thermal fatigue resistance of hot die steel. In this study, the thermal shocktester consisted of induction heating and water spray cooling unit was constructed to evaluatethermal crack propagation resistance and the sum of crack length per unit specimen length, Lm isproposed as the index representing the susceptibility to crack initiation and propagation. Also, newconcept of measurement for the melt-out behavior was suggested. AISI H13 hot work tool steel wassolution treated and tempered at various temperatures, to control the hardness and toughness thathave effect on the behavior of thermal crack propagation. The result of thermal fatigue test showedthat there is optimum value of hardness and impact energy to maximize the thermal crackpropagation resistance. The influence of nitriding on melt-out resistance was also investigated. Thedissolution rate due to melt-out phenomenon tended to be smaller for thicker compound layer.Furthermore, the resistance to melt-out was affected by the compound layer thickness rather thanthat of diffusion layer. The results of the both tests properly reflect the effect of materials propertieson failure modes of die-casting mould and it means those test methods are suitable to evaluate thedurability of hot work tool steel for die-casting
