In order to improve hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, extend die service life, and reduce production costs, this paper focuses on optimizing the heat treatment processes of common metal materials used in stamping dies. By employing theoretical analysis and case studies, the research mainly explores the effects of annealing, quenching, tempering, and vacuum heat treatment parameters on die performance. The study finds that optimizing heat treatment parameters — such as temperature control and holding time — can significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of die materials, especially for high-carbon high-chromium die steels and high-speed steels. Therefore, the reasonable selection of metal materials combined with precise heat treatment processes can greatly improve the performance of stamping dies, providing effective technical support for the manufacturing industry.
