Application areas

DIMO C45 is designed for holderblock applications requiring extensive machining and high dimensional stability as mold assemblies, ejector plates, supports, clamping plates and housings for diecasting dies.

Delivery condtion

DIMO C45 is supplied in a stress relieved condition with a normalized ferrite-pearlite-microstructure. The normalizing can be replaced by a normalizing rolling. Cut edges are stress relieved by an appropriate heat treatment.

General note

If special requirements, which are not listed in this specification, are to be met by the steel due to its intended use or processing, these requirements are to be agreed before placing the order.

The information in this specification is a product description. This specification is updated if necessary. The latest version is available from the mill or as download at www.dillinger.de.

Heat Treatment

DIMOC45 is generally applied in the delivery condition. Should a heat treatment become necessary, please refer to the material data sheet at www.dillinger.de.

Other

DIMO C45 is available as plate with cut edges (sheared, flame cut or water jet cut) in the following dimensions:


Thickness≥ 10 ≤ 130 mm 3/8 5 in> 130 305 mm> 5 12 in
Width 1000 3000 mm 40 119 in 1000 2050 mm 40 80.5 in
Length 3000 6000 mm 119 236 in 3000 6000 mm 119 236 in

Widths < 1500 mm (59 in) have to be ordered with an even number of plates, Other dimensions available upon request.


Identification of plates Unless otherwise agreed the marking is carried out via steel stamps with at least the following information:
  • steel grade (DIMO C45)
  • heat number
  • number of mother plate and individual plate
  • the manufacturer’s symbol
  • inspector’s sign

  • Processing history

    The DIMO C45 production route is designed to achieve good machinability, dimensional stability and high cleanliness. The good oxidic cleanliness and the modification of remaining inclusions by the calcium treatment lead to good machinability and minimize the tool wear. These properties can only be achieved by the combination of the following DIMO C45-production steps:

  • hot metal desulphurization
  • vacuum degassing
  • argon stirring for high sulfidic and oxidic cleanliness
  • calcium treatment for inclusion shape control
  • special casting conditions to assure the high cleanliness and homogeneity
  • High Shape Factor Rolling (high thickness reduction) to realize a closely packed structure
  • appropriate heat treatment parameters according to analysis and dimensions to assure homogeneous hardness distribution over the plate and to minimize residual stresses.

  • Surface condition

    Surface quality: Unless otherwise agreed, the specifications will be in accordance with EN 10163-2 class A, subclass 3. Shot blasting of upper and lower surface of the plate and shop priming are possible on request.

    Testings

  • Heat analysis
  • Dimension control
  • Surface inspection
  • Hardness: The hardness (HBW) is tested on surface of a rolled mother plate
  • Tensile test acc. DIN EN 10083-2 can be agreed
  • Ultrasonic testing: Unless otherwise agreed, ultrasonic testing is performed on each plate in accordance with EN 10160, class S2/E3, 100 % of the surface. Upon request, an ultrasonic testing in accordance with ASTM A 578, Level C + S1 is possible. In this case the desired testing standard has to be indicated on the order.

    Unless otherwise agreed, the results are documented in an inspection certificate 3.1 in accordance with EN 10204.

  • Tolerances

    Unless otherwise agreed, tolerances are in accordance with EN 10029 with the following restrictions:
