PRODUCT NAME : High speed tool steel bar ( forged / rolled )
STANDARD:GB/T9943-2008 GB/T9942-2008 ISO4957
GRADE COMPARISION:

 ULTRASONIC STANDARD:

GB/T6402-2008 / SEP921-84. ASTM A388
HEAT TREATMENT SPECIFICATION AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:

Annealing temperature:860-880℃,keep this temperature by 2-4 hours,then cooling to 600℃ in the speed of 20-30℃/h

if after cold drawn precess,suggest add stress relieving annealing process

Under the temperature of 600-700℃ ,keep this temperature by 2 houres.

Quenching & Tempering (salt bath)

Quenching:

Pre-heating in two steps:

Heating temperature under:400-500℃ and 850-900℃

Austenitizing temperature:1185-1225℃

Heating coefficient 10-15sec/mm,quenching under 580-620℃,then cooling to room temperature.

Quenching temperature difference in 5-10℃ between M2, M2A;M2A's quenching temperature is higher than M2

Tempering:

Tempering temperature under:540-560℃ ,tempering 3 times,each time 1 hour,then cooling to room temperature.
