Description
Cr12W is a wear-resistant cold work mold steel. It has the characteristics of high hardenability, hardenability, toughness, wear resistance, and small quenching volume deformation.

Heat Treatment
Annealing
800 to 850°C
Slow controlled cooling in the furnace at a rate of 10 to 20°C/hr down to approx. 600°C, further cooling in air.
Hardness after annealing: max. 250 HB
Stress relieving
650 to 700°C
Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or incomplex shapes.
After heating, hold in a neutral atmosphere for 1 to 2 hours.
Hardening
950 to 980°C
Oil, salt bath (220 to 250°C or 500 to 550°C), air plast, still air. Holding time after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes. Obtainable hardness: 64 – 66 HRC.
Special treatment: Hardening 1020°C and tempering at 500°C.
Obtainable hardness approx. 61 HRC (e.g. if followed by nitriding).
Tempering
Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening/time in furnace 1 hour for each 20 mm of workpiece thickness but at least 2 hours/cooling in air. For certain cases we recommend reducing tempering temperature and increase holding time.
