Edition 20191113 2 | CALMAX CALMAX The majority of presswork tools used today are manufactured using traditional tool steel such as O1, A2, D2, D3 or D6. These steel offer an apparent adequate wear resistance and their hardness range is suitable for most applications. However, the poor toughness, flame and induction hardenability and weldability of these grades often results in low productivity and high maintenance costs due to unexpected tool failure. The aim of Calmax is to secure an optimal tooling economy, i.e. the lowest tooling costs per part produced. The pressworking industry has gone through some considerable changes in the last decades. Stainless steel and surface coated strip have been commercialised and high speed presses have been developed. To these technological advances just in time (JIT) manufacture and the moves toward increased productivity and tool life guarantees must be added. The traditional presswork tool steel are still routinely specified and selected but often result in poor tool performance and productivity. The well balanced properties profile of Calmax is much better matched to modern work materials and manufacturing methods. Calmax offers the high degree of safety which is essential for optimal tooling performance and maximum productivity.

Temper at least twice with intermediate in air and tempering 2 x 2 h at various temperatures cooling to room temperature. The lowest tempering temperature which should be used is 180°C. The Specimen size: 100 x 100 x 10 mm minimum holding time at temperature is 2 hours. TEMPERING GRAPH SURFACE TREATMENT Some cold work tools are given a surface treatment in order to reduce friction and increase tool wear Above tempering curves are obtained after heat resistance. The most commonly used treatments are treatment of samples with a size of 15 x 15 x 40 nitriding and surface coating with wear-resistant layers mm,cooling in forced air. Lower hardness can be produced via PVD and CVD. expected after heat treatment of tools and dies due to factors like actual tool size and heat treatment Two commonly used nitriding processes are ion parameters. nitriding and gas nitriding. Ion nitriding is normally performed at a lower temperature than gas nitriding and is, therefore, the preferred method for Calmax when a substrate hardness of ~54 HRC is required.

A thick case depth considerably reduces the toughness Typical blanking die where Calmax could be used because of the of the tool. The case depth, which can be controlled high demands on toughness. by the nitriding time, should be selected to suit the application in question. DIMENSIONAL CHANGES Calmax can also be CVD coated but the deposition temperature should not exceed 960°C. The tool should be re-hardened after being coated. The dimensional changes during hardening and tempering vary depending on temperature, type PVD coatings can be deposited at temperatures of equipment and cooling media used during heat between 200°C and 500°C. If 200°C is used, the treatment. Calmax substrate hardness will be higher than that obtained at a deposition temperature of 500°C. The size and geometric shape of the tool are also However, the adhesion of the coating on the steel is of essential importance. During toolmaking, provide better if a deposition temperature of 500°C is used. adequate machining allowance to compensate for distortion. Use 0.20% as a guideline for Calmax. Any The PVD deposition temperature should be approx. distortion arising from hardening and tempering can 20°C lower than the previously used tempering then be adjusted during finish machining.
