CZK 0

Characteristics

Carbon tool steel characterized by adequate hardness of hardening layer, high toughness and very significant insensitivity to hardening cracks. Further the steel is characterized by good ductility at the heat and good workability in the annealed state.

Suitability

For locksmith and assembly tools, tools for woodworking, hardened components of molds, e.g. base plates, cases, columns, stops, suspension components and products etc. Further the steel is appropriate for agricultural, blacksmith and bricklayer tools.

Heat treatment of steel W.Nr. 1.1730

WayTemperature [°C]Procedure
Forging1050-800Cool slowly in calm air or better e.g. in dry ash or other thermally-insulated material
Normalization840-860Cool in air
Soft annealing680-710Warm few hours (according to the size of object). Mostly four hours are enough and cool slowly in the furnace
Annealing to lower tension600-650Warm 1 to 2 hours and cool slowly in the furnace
Hardeningin water790-820Big and simple objects
in oil800-830Thin cross-sections of thickness up to 5 mm
Tempering180-300Cool in air or water, the degree of tempering is set by hardness and toughness of instrument according to the tempering chartPoznámka

Note

  • Cross-sections thicker than 5 mm have a hardening irregular layer and are softer on the surface at hardening into oil.
  • After hardening into oil the hardness of about 50 HRC is reached.Tabulka popouštěcích hodnot v závislosti na tvrdosti
