Delivery Condition
EAF+LF+VD+(ESR), Hot rolled or Forged, Unmachined or Machined surface, UT 100% Passed
We offer Annealed and Q+T condition.
Annealed: Hardness≤240HB
Q+T: Hardness 30-34 HRC

Characteristics
It is a kind of medium alloyed cold work tool steel that is usually supplied quenched and tempered, high
hardening capacity, through hardenability and toughness, good weldability, excellent surface hardenability.


Applications
For making cutting inserts for segmented tool, punching tools, shear knives, plastic moulds, cutting tools.

Heat Treatment
Annealing
820 to 860°C
Slow controlled cooling in furnace at a rate of 10 to 20°C/hr down to approx. 600°C, further cooling in air.
Hardness after annealing: max. 240 HB.

Stress relieving
600 to 650°C
Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or incomplex shapes.
After through heating, hold in neutral atmosphere for 1 to 2 hours.

Hardening
950 to 980°C
Complex shapes/air, simple shapes/air blast, oil, salt bath from (220 to 250°C or 500 to 550°C). Holding time
after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes.
Obtainable hardness: 63 - 65 HRC.

Tempering
Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening/time in furnace
1hour for each 20 mm of work piece thickness, but at least 2 hours/cooling in air.

We offer a wide range of steel products in a wide variety of dimensions and executions, acc.to the common international specifications or customerized.
Machining and heat treatment are available.
Also, we advise you in choosing the right materials.
