Hot-forging die with conformal meshy structured cavity surface layer and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a hot-forging die with the conformal meshy structured cavity surface layer and a preparation method thereof. A large-scale hot-forging die includes a die substrate, and a sandwiched layer, a transition layer and a reinforcement layer are formed on the die substrate in sequence. The reinforcement layer and the transition layer are separated into a plurality of small units by the grooves. All the grooves are interconnected and communicated to form a meshy structure. The transition layer grooves are filled with ordinary soft material; the reinforcement layer grooves are filled with high temperature resistant soft material. The reinforcement layer material and the high temperature resistant soft material of the present disclosure cooperate with each other to obtain a cavity surface layer with properties of both hard and soft, strong and tough, which can fully release the large tensile stress that may occur on the surface of the die cavity during the welding process and under the service conditions of the die, so as to avoid hot cracks during welding process and service process.
