Applications
Specialty, corrosion-resistant and electronic applications.
Available Forms
Bar, Plate, Sheet, Tube, Wire, Casting, Forging
Uses
Tool and die steel for cutting, forming, punching and molding tools. Tungsten/molybdenum (≈0%/99%) give hot hardness and red-hardness for high-speed and hot-work tools. Applied to blanks, punches, extrusion dies, shear blades, plastic-mold and cold-work tooling.
Heat Treatment
Powder/HSS: preheat 800–850 °C, austenitize 1180–1230 °C (salt or vacuum), quench, triple temper 540–570 °C to ≈64–66 HRC.
Precautions
Risk of quench cracking and distortion — use graded preheating, controlled cooling and multiple tempers. Avoid overheating the austenitizing temperature. Machine in the soft annealed condition; allow for dimensional change after heat treatment. Grind with coolant to prevent rehardening cracks.
