PROPRIETARY VP420IM Heat Treatments
- Annealing: Soft annealing should be carried out by slow heating (100°C/h) to 780/840°C for 1 hour (after soaking), followed by slow cooling at 30°C per hour to 600°C and, then, by air cooling.
Stress relieving:The indicated procedure is slow heating (100°C/h) to ~ 650°C, holding until complete homogenisation (normally 30 min for 25 mm of the larger section, with minimum of 2 hours), and slow furnace cooling at least down to 100°C.
Hardening and Tempering: The recommended temperatures are: Pre-heating (400 - 450°C), Hardening (1000 - 1040°C) usually at 1025°C, Tempering (175 – 550°C). After preheating, moulds must be slow heated (300°C/h max.) to hardening temperature, holding 30 min after soaking (i. e. after mould is fully heated throughout). Use of protective atmosphere (or vacuum) is important during heating to hardening.
Quenching may be done in oil, holding until reaching 80°C. Then, it is recommended that moulds are carried to another furnace at 100/150°C in order to equalise temperature (in this step 1h for each 100 mm is required). Immediately after this treatment, heating to tempering should start. Double tempering is required and after each one moulds must cool down to room temperature. For each tempering treatments, the holding time of at least 2 h (after soaking) is necessary. As discussed before, tempering between 200 - 300°C is recommended to improve corrosion resistance.
