100MnCrW4 Steel

UK deliveries. Contact our well informed sales team.An oil hardening DIN specification which hardens at a relatively low temperature with minimum distortion. 100MnCrW4 is a high quality non-distorting cold work tool steel. 100MrCrW4 has combined manganese chromium tungsten and is characterised by giving high surface hardness after heat treatment and tempering, good dimensional stability in hardening, and good machining characteristics. 100MncrW4 Tool Steel Forging: Heat slowly and uniformly to 1000?C. Forge within a range of 1000/800?C reheating if necessary. Cool slowly (preferably in a furnace) to avoid setting up stresses. Annealing: Heat uniformly to 770?C, equalise, then furnace cool. (Hardness about 229 Brinell). Fully machined tools should be packed during annealing. Stress Relieving: If machining operations have been heavy or if the tool has an unbalanced section, remove stresses before hardening by heating up to 650?C, equalise, then cool slowly.
