Description
This alloy is a High Speed, tungsten type tool steel. It is a deep hardening alloy capable of Rockwell C 64 hardness.
Applications
Generally used as cutting tools, broaches and cold extrusion punches, turning, planing and milling cutters for roughing work.
Physical properties (avarage values) at ambient temperature
Modulus of elasticity [103 x N/mm2]: 217
Density [g/cm3]: 8.70
Thermal conductivity [W/m.K]: 19.0
Electric resistivity [Ohm mm2/m]: 0.65
Specific heat capacity[J/g.K]: 0.46
Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion 10-6 oC-1
| 20-100oC | 20-200oC | 20-300oC | 20-400oC | 20-500oC | 20-600oC | 20-700oC |
| 10.0 | 10.5 | 10.8 | 11.2 | 11.3 | 11.4 | 11.6 |
Soft Annealing
Heat to 820-850oC, cool slowly in furnace to 550oC then air. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 265.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 600-650oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 1260-1290oC followed by oil, air quenching or warm bath at 550oC. Hardness after quenching is 63-66 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 2x 560-580oC. Hardness after tempering is 64-65 HRC.
Tempering Temperature (oC) vs. Hardness (HRC)
| 100oC | 150oC | 200oC | 250oC | 300oC | 350oC | 400oC | 450oC | 500oC | 550oC | 600oC | 650oC |

Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1150-900oC.
Cold working
In the annealed condition the alloy may be cold worked by conventional methods.
Machinability
Machinability of T4 is only fair. It ranks as 55% that of the W group water hardening simple tool steels.
Corrosion Resistance
Although this alloy contains appreciable amount of tungsten it is still not a corrosion resistant alloy. it will rust unless adequately protected.
Welding
The alloy may be welded but has a high tungsten content. Consult the alloy supplier for information relative to welding methods.
