Abstract

Quenched 4Cr5MoSiV1 tool steel is commonly used as a material for tablet presser dies. However, it exhibits high sensitivity to temperature and working environment, resulting in issues such as thermal cracking tendencies, uneven hardness distribution, and poor oxidation resistance during machining and heat treatment. The ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) can improve the surface integrity by introducing residual compressive stresses in the subsurface of the workpiece, which can effectively suppress the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks and enhance the material's fatigue strength and lifespan. In this study, the influence of USRP on the surface integrity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of 4Cr5MoSiV1 tablet dies before and after quenching was investigated. Experimental results revealed that, under specific rolling parameters, USRP can significantly affect surface roughness and the morphology of the 4Cr5MoSiV1 tablet dies both before and after quenching. By USRP, the surface layer hardness of the unquenched samples increases by 41%, while the quenched samples increases only 14%. The residual compressive stress in the surface layer of the quenched sample increases from 42 to 67 MPa, while for the unquenched sample, the stress state of the surface transitioned from tensile stress to compressive stress, with an increase of approximately 140 MPa. Both USRP and quenching treatment can enhance the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of 4Cr5MoSiV1 tool steel. For the 4Cr5MoSiV1 tablet die, USRP can serve as a surface strength enhancement and finishing technique to replace quenching treatment. Unquenched-USRP-treated 4Cr5MoSiV1 tool steel can be used as die material for tablet pressers.
