PROPRIETARY VW3 Heat Treatments
- Stress relief: The relief procedure should involve slow heating to temperatures between 500 and 600°C and oven cooling to a temperature of 200°C. If applied after work, stress relief must be carried out at a temperature 50°C lower than the temperature of the last temper.
Quenching: The heat for quenching should be between 910 and 940°C. It is recommended to pre-warm the tools.
Cool in:
Appropriate oil, with agitation and heated between 40 and 70°C.
Molten salt bath, kept between 180 and 230°C.
Calm air.
It cannot be vacuum quenched.
Tempering: The tools must be tempered immediately after tempering, as soon as they reach 60°C. Make at least 2 tempers and between each temper the parts must cool down to room temperature. Tempering temperatures should be chosen depending on the desired hardness. The time of each tempering must be at least 2 hours. For pieces larger than 70 mm, the time must be calculated as a function of their dimension. Allow 1 hour for each inch of thickness.
