PROPRIETARY VS7 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 930 and 960°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 500 and 550°C.
- Vacuum with high pressure of refrigerant gas.
- Airblown.
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, according to the desired hardness, and temperatures in the range of 310 to 430°C should be avoided due to temper embrittlement. The time of each tempering must be at least 2 hours. Allow 1 hour for each inch of thickness.
