PROPRIETARY VH13-ISO Heat Treatments
- Annealing: Soft annealing should be carried out by heating between 840 and 860°C for 2 hours, followed by slow cooling at 10/20°C per hour until 650°C and, then, by air cooling. In this treatment, the use of protective atmosphere is important to avoid surface oxidation and decarburization.
Stress relieving: The indicated procedure is slow heating to 500/600°C (or 50°C lower than the tempering temperature in case of hardened tool), holding until complete homogenisation, and cooling (air or furnace) at least down to 200°C.
Hardening and Tempering: the indicated heat treatment temperatures are: Pre-heating (780 - 820°C), Hardening (1000 - 1040°C), Tempering (540 - 650°C). After preheating, tools must be carried to another furnace, holding 30 min after soaking (after tool is fully heated throughout).
Quenching may be done in:
a) Salt bath at 500/550°C.
b) Warm quenching oil.
c) Vacuum, with high pressure circulated gas.
d) Air blast.
Tempering temperatures should be suitable to the working condition, but 450/540°C range should be avoided because can cause excessive loss in toughness. Double tempering is required and after each one tools must cool down to room temperature. After soaking, holding time of at least 2h is necessary.
Surface treatments: Nitriding temperature should be at least 50°C lower than that of the tempering.
