PROPRIETARY HG 2363 Heat Treatments
- Forging:
Preheat at 650-680°C before raising the temperature to 1050-1100°C and soak until uniformly heated. Initial hammer blows should be light due to the comparatively high hot strength of this steel. The forging temperature must be maintained above 1000°C until the metal begins to yield. Final forging should not be done below 900°C. Slow cooling after forging is essential to avoid the possibility of cracking.
Annealing:
A2 tool steel is supplied in the annealed condition. Re-annealing will only be necessary if the toolmaker has forged the steel, or if a hardened tool has to be re-machined or re-hardened. Heat slowly to 850-870°C. After a minimum of two hours at this temperature the furnace temperature should be lowered to 730-750°C and held there for four to six hours. Allow to cool very slowly in the furnace to 600°C or below before removing the steel to cool in air
Stress Relieving:
When heavy machining and-or grinding of A2 tool steel has been carried out, it is advisable to stress relieve in order to minimize the danger of distortion or cracking during the subsequent heat treatment. To stress-relieve, heat the tools slowly to 670-700oC, soak for a minimum of two hours per 25mm of section and allow to cool down in the furnace. The tools can then be finish machined, leaving on an allowance for final grinding after hardening and tempering.
Hardening:
Pre-heat slowly to 790-820°C and thoroughly soak at this temperature. Continue heating to the hardening temperature of 950-980°C. Allow sufficient time for the A2 tool steel component to become evenly heated through. Withdraw from the furnace and then either air cool or oil quench. The steel may be protected against scaling and decarburization by heating in a reducing atmosphere furnace, heating in a neutral salt bath, or by pack hardening. Temper as soon as the tool is hand warm
Tempering:
Double tempering is recommended. Soak well at the selected temperature and soak for at least one hour per 25mm of total thickness.
