Strength:
max. 240 HB
(≈ max. 820 N/mm²)
Thermal conductivity at 100 °C:
19 W/m K
Character:
steel for through hardening with good machinability, high wear resistance and low warpage; very good dimensional stability, toughness and through hardenability
Application:
mould plates and inserts as well as cutting punches, wear plates and cutting plates with high requirements on toughness
Treatment by
is possible:
Polishing, etching, nitriding, hard chroming
Heat treatment:
Soft annealing:
800 to 840°C for about 4 to 5 hours slow controlled cooling of 10 to 20°C per hour to about 650°C further cooling in air, max. 230 HB
Hardening:
950°C to 980°C
quenching in calm air
obtainable hardness: 62 HRC
Tempering:
slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening; tempering twice is recommended; rapid cooling following the tempering improves the dimensional stability;
maximum hardness achievable after tempering: 58−60 HRC
