Heat Treatment

General annealing

The heating temperature is 830-850 degrees, the furnace is cooled to below 550 degrees, and the furnace is air-cooled. The hardness after annealing is 229HBW.

Warm annealing process

Heating temperature 830-850 degrees, isothermal temperature 700-720 degrees. Furnace cooling to 550 degrees air cooling, Hardness ≤ 229HBW. Annealing metallographic structure is fine granular pearlite + carbide.

Quenched and tempered at low temperature. (960~980 degree oil quenching, 200~300 degree tempering). After tempering, it contains carbides with a mass fraction of about 8% to 10%. The mass fraction of retained austenite is 15% to 20%.

The tempering temperature is 150~170 degrees. The hardness is 62~63HRC. The tempering temperature is 190~210 degrees. The hardness is 58~60HRC.

Features and Application

Cr6WV steel has a wide range of uses. Manufacture of molds with high mechanical strength, wear-resistance and shock loads. Such as drill sleeves, cold mold and punches, trimming dies, stamping dies, thread rolling dies, and thread rolling plates.
