摘要:
A powder-metallurgy-produced, essentially titanium-free, nickel-containing maraging steel article such as for use in the manufacture of die casting die components and other hot work tooling components. The article preferably contains an intentional addition of niobium. The article may be produced as a hot-isostatically-compacted, solution annealed, fully dense mass of prealloyed particles, or alternately, as a hot-isostatically-compacted, plastically deformed and solution annealed, fully dense mass of prealloyed particles.
摘要:
A powder-metallurgy produced tool steel article of a hot worked, fully dense, consolidated mass of prealloyed particles of a tool steel alloy having a sulfur content within the range of 0.10 to 0.70 weight percent and a maximum sulfide size below about 15 microns.
摘要:
A hot-worked, fully dense, wear resistant, vanadium-rich, powder metallurgy cold work tool steel article having improved impact toughness. This is achieved by controlling the amount, composition and size of the primary carbides and by insuring that substantially all the primary carbides remaining after hardening and tempering are MC-type vanadium-rich carbides. The article is produced by hot isostatic compacting of nitrogen atomized powder particles.
摘要:
A powder-metallurgy produced tool steel article of a hot worked, fully dense, consolidated mass of prealloyed particles of a tool steel alloy having a sulfur content within the range of 0.10 to 0.30 weight percent and a maximum sulfide size below about 15 microns.
摘要:
A martensitic stainless steel having an improved combination of strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and machinability, and particularly adapted for use in the manufacture of holder blocks, frames, backers and similar articles for anchoring molds and dies. The steel has a hardness within the range of 30 to 40 HRC and is consisting of, in weight percent, up to 0.09% carbon, up to 0.09% nitrogen, 0.02 to 0.09% carbon plus nitrogen, up to 4.50% manganes, up to 0.05% phosporus, 0.05 to 0.25% sulfur, up to 1.0% silicon, 1.00 to 4.00% nickel, 11.00 to 14.00% chromium, 0.25 to 1.00% molybdenum, up to 1.00% copper, balance iron and incidental impurities. Articles made from this steel may be austenitized at temperatures within the range of 1500 to 1750°F for about 1 hour per inch of thickness and either oil quenched or air cooled to achieve a martensitic structure. Thereafter, the article may be tempered or stress-relieved at a temperature between 500 and 850°F for about 1 hour per inch of thickness with a minimum of 2 hours. After these heat treatments, the article will exhibit a hardness between 30 and 40 HRC, preferably 35 to 40 HRC for higher strength applications, along with a drill machinability rating equal to or greater than 100.
