In this paper, plastic mold steel S136 and S136 SUP were studied for microstructural observation and mechanical properties through metallographic, SEM, EDS, XRD, hardness test and impact test. The results showed that after the same heat treatment, the martensite structure of S136 SUP was denser, the carbides were more uniform and finer, and the hardness was slightly lower but the toughness was greatly increased compared with that of S136. the residual austenite content of S136 and S136 SUP were 2.46% and 10%, respectively, and the heat treatment hardness was 50.1 HRC and 49.1 HRC, respectively. The impact toughness was 90.6 J and 299.1 J.
