Learn about YG20 grade

The chemical composition of YG20 includes steel’s carbon content of 20%, WC80% and Co20%. This material is suitable for large-volume production of carbide molds such as cold punching dies, cold heading dies, and cold extrusion dies. In addition,

YG20 is produced using powder metallurgy, sintering and pressing at high temperatures. The production process of this material is sophisticated and complex, and various process parameters need to be controlled during the production process to ensure the quality and performance of the product. At the same time, the production of YG20 requires special equipment and tools, so the production cost is high. YG20 is an advanced molding material with the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance and red hardness, and is suitable for the production of large quantities of cemented carbide mold. Although it is brittle, it can still perform well in certain applications.
