Abstract: 

In this paper, Cr12MoV die steel was modified using Ti. Microstructural analysis and mechanical properties of samples with different Ti content were performed. The results show that after the Ti modification, the microstructure of Cr12MoV die steel shows obvious change. The carbide network is broken, and many little lumpy and granular phases are produced as well. The tensile strength and hardness of Cr12MoV die steel have a slightly increase, but the impact toughness is improved remarkably. When the Ti content is 0.5 wt %, the impact toughness is 2.8 times that of unmodified Cr12MoV die steel.
