Die hobbing is one of the dieblock manufacturing methods of cold forging die, which makes the upper side of dieblock indented using master punch, hobb to produce impression not using cutting work. SKD11, alloy tool steel was used as the material of dieblock and stainless sheet metal was used as product material in cold forging work. The life span of the die was 6,000 strokes. In this research, the material of dieblock was changed into SKH51, the high speed tool steel and the product material was S45C, the carbon steel in the cold forging work. The life span of the die was 21,000 strokes, which is 350% of the life span of the die using the former method.

The purpose of this study is to show the friction and wear characteristic behaviors of TiN and CrN coated SKD61 which is applied to Al 6xxx extrusion mold material. The friction and wear characteristic behaviors of both coating layers were investigated by the reciprocating friction wear tester under atmospheric pressure and un-lubricated state. The processing parameters in this study were temperature (50 and $120^{\circ}C$) and load (3, 5, and 11 kgf). This study was carried out while comparing the coefficient of friction and microstructure of TiN and CrN coating layers on SKD61. The coefficient of friction of CrN became lower than that of TiN at all conditions. Therefore, CrN was suggested to be more advantageous than TiN for extrusion mold.

In this study, we turning mold steel (SKD61) using whisker reinforced ceramic tool (WA1) to get affected factor to surface roughness and regression equation. For this study, we adapt system of experiments. Results are follows; From the analysis of variance, it was found that affected factor to surface roughness was feed rate, cutting speed, depth of cut in order. From multi-regression analysis, we calculated regression equation and the coefficient of determination($R^2$). $R^2$ was 0.978 and It means regression equation is significant. Regression equation means if feed rate increase 0.039mm/rev, surface roughness will increase $0.8391{\mu}m$, if cutting speed increase 50m/min, surface roughness will decrease $0.034{\mu}m$, if depth of cut increase 0.1mm, surface roughness will increase $0.0203{\mu}m$. From the experimental verification, it was confirmed that surface roughness was predictable by system of experiments.

The extruder screw material is mainly SKD11, but the recent development of synthetic resins have increased the occurrence of chemical corrosion and wear. To solve this issue, high chromium cast iron is needed because of its good abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, but its use is avoided because of its poor machinability. In this study, to improve the machinability of high chrome cast iron, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5% of nickel, which has excellent workability, was added to high chromium cast iron with a composition of Fe-23Cr-2.5C-1.2Si-1.08Mn-0.48Mo-0.3V, and annealed after casting. Subsequently, the effect of nickel on the machinability and corrosion resistance was analyzed using a turning test and coin polarization test, and compared with SKD11. After casting using a high-frequency vacuum induction furnace, the annealing treatment was performed at 750 ℃ for five hours and then reheated at 1100 ℃ for five hours. A turning test after annealing at 750 ℃ showed that the machinability was improved remarkably when the nickel content was over 1.0%. In the potentiodynamic polarization test in a 5% NaCl solution, the corrosion resistance decreased with increasing nickel content in the as-cast and annealing treatment. On the other hand, after reheating, the corrosion resistance was best with a 1.5% nickel content.

Alloy tool steel such as SKD11 and SKD61 or high speed tool like SKH51 are used as materials for semiconductor dies. Cavities, curl blocks, pot blocks and housings are made from those materials. To make those parts from alloy tool steel or high speed tool, one utilizes discharge machining, and mechanical machining including machining center, milling, drilling, forming grinding and others. In the process of cutting machining and polishing, the die materials become unsuitable for machining owing to bubbles and foreign substances in them, which hinders production process. Therefore, this study focuses on die material selection criteria, and on analysis and comparison of material characteristics to help companies to solve their problems, make die manufacture less burdensome and extend die life.

The friction and wear characteristics of CrN and TiN coatings on SKD61 which is mold material using for extrusion of AZ80 magnesium alloy were investigated. The coatings were deposited by the arc ion-plating method, and the thickness were about $3.59{\mu}m$ and $3.28{\mu}m$, respectively. Reciprocating friction wear tests were conducted by varying pin load and temperature of counter substrate at un-lubricated condition. The pin loads were 11, 15 and 19 kgf, and the substrate temperatures were room temperature and $120^{\circ}C$. CrN coating which has a lower friction coefficient and a smaller adhesive wear with AZ80 magnesium alloy showed better wear resistance than TiN coating.

The thermal shock and thermal fatigue test has been carried out to analyze the thermal characteristics of tool steels for hot forging and the effects of mechanical properties on this study have been investigated. The resistance to thermal shock is first of all a matter of good toughness and ductility. Therefore, a proper hot-work tool steel should be characterized by high fracture strength and high temperature toughness. Based on these results, some critical temperature($T_{fracture}$) at which fracture occur can be measured to characterize the thermal resistance of the materials. During thermal fatigue tests, the thermal fatigue cracks occur because of the repetitive heating and cooling of the die surface and the thermal fatigue damage was evaluated by analyzing different number of cycles to failure. The results showed that the resistance to thermal shock and thermal fatigue were found to be favoured by high hot tensile strength and high hot hardness, and thermal resistance of SKD61 was superior to that of ESC, SKT4 and this was caused by higher mechanical properties of SKD61.

CrN coatings were deposited by cathodic arc ion plating method on the SKD11 steel substrates. Atmosphere temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, arc current of 90 A, nitrogen partial pressure of 1.0-5.3 Pa, and negative bias voltage of 30-135 V were selected. The characteristics of microstructure were investigated with XRD. Hardness, adhesion and friction coefficient measured by microhardness tester, scratch tester, and ball on disk tribometer. Microstructures depended on nitrogen partial pressure and bias voltage. The preferred orientation of the films was changed from (200) to (111) with decreasing pressure and increasing bias voltage. Adhesion properties related with microstructure, but microstructure changes slightly influenced on hardness and friction properties. The critical load.($Lc_1$) and hardness of CrN films deposited at 5.3 Pa, -30 V condition were 55 N(HF1), $2157{\pm}47\;Hk_{0.025}$. The friction coefficient were about 0.5 under dry condition.

TiN and TiAlN films were deposited on SKD 11 steel substrates by an arc ion plating (AIP) technique. The crystallinity and morphology for the deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties of both films were investigated through the indentation, impact, and wear test. Those films fairly adherent to SKD 11 steel substrate, showed hardness values of 2300 $\pm$ 100kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ and 3200 $\pm$ 100kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ with a load of 25g, respectively. During impact test, TiAlN films showed much superior impact wear resistance to TiN films. It could be suggested that the TiN films was failed relatively by plastic deformation with oxidation during impact test, while TiAlN films was failed by brittle fracture and resisted the oxidation by the impact energy. The friction coefficient of TiAlN films became lower than that of TiN films at high sliding speed condition although it was higher than that of TiN films at low speed. Therefore, TiAlN films was suggested to be more advantageous than TiN films for high speed machining fields.
