Note: If you take preheating time, dipping time can be regarded as holding time.

Tempering

Tempering temperature Note1: This standard is applicable to tempering at 500ºC or more. When tempering at 250-500ºC, holding time must be increased to 1.5 times longer and at lower than 250ºC, 2 times longer than the standard. Note2: Tempering is required no less than two times for grades containing no cobalt and at least three times for grades containing cobalt to improve toughness when high temperature tempering is done. T Note3: Because toughness deteriorates, tempering higher than 600ºC must avoid for high-speed tool steels.

Annealing

1. All material is delivered as spheroidized annealed condition. 2. After reforging, spheroidizing is to be done before hardening. Please refer to the standard heat treatment conditions. 3. Stress relief annealing is to be done to remove stress caused by cold working such as drawing and rolling and to soften or reduce distortion caused by subsequent hardening. • Heating temperature : 650-700℃ • Holding time : 1h/25mm thickness

Decrease of dimensional Flame hardening Pre-hardened changes after heat treatment

Isotropy tool steels are so named becase the difference in mechanical properties between its longitudinal (forging or rolling direction) and transverse directions is reduced, thus overcoming a weak point of ordinarily processed steels. This technological concept, which is highly evaluated by users of tool steels, is applied for the production of all our steels and contributes signi cantly to stabilizing their characteristics and enhance their service life.
