Application | ASTM H10 tool steel are suitable for highly stressed hot work tools, mainly for the processing of heavy alloys, such as: Extrusion Industry: Dies, Inner Liners, Stems, Pressure Pads, Mandrels for Extrusion, Forging Industry: Forming Dies, Press Dies, Pressing Mandrels, Die Casting Industry: dies for die-casting, die inserts, hot shear blades, moulds for processing brass and light metal |
6.Heat Treatment
Annealing
Heating slowly and uniformly to 750~790ºC, furnace cooling to
600ºC at a rate 10~20ºC/hr, further cooling in air. Hardness after annealing: max. 205 HB. Suitable precautions must be taken to prevent excessive carburization or decarburization.
Stress relieving
600 to 650°C (1112 to 1202°F) Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or in complex shapes. After through heating, hold in neutral atmosphere for 1 -2 hours.
Hardening
H10 steel is a very deep hardening steel, and although oil quenching may be used where maximum hardness is required, air hardening is recommended for most applications. The use of salt bath or controlled atmosphere furnace is desirable to minimize decarburization, and if not available, pack hardening spent pitch temperature employed is usually in the range of 982°C -1037°C.
1010 to 1050°C (1850 to 1922°F) Oil, salt bath (500-550°C / 932-1022°F), Holding time after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes. Obtainable hardness: 52 -56 HRC
Tempering
7: Delivery condition
For hot rolled plate, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed, black surface.
