rial No. 11,874. In Germany October 31, 1941 Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires October 31, 1961 3 Claims.
The invention relates to an alloy steel suitable preferably for water hardening tools of high resistance to wear as well as shock.
For such tools, especially for turning tools, for grooving or rifling tools and drawing dies, alloyed steels are used having a hardness of RC of at least 67, preferably 68 to 69 in the hardened state. The hardness should not decrease appreciably when tempered at a temperature of approx. 200 C., at least the hardness should not drop to less than 66 RC.
It is, however, not possible to choose a suitable alloyed steel merely according to the hardness obtainable. As the tools under consideration are causes brittleness of the tool.
purities, the components enumerated below:
1.0 to 2.0% carbon of less than 1%.
impurities 1.3 to 1.8% carbon steel of the following composition:
balance iron and the usual impurities. After quenching this steel in water from a temperature of 780-840 C. a RC hardness of 65-70 is obtained.
No decrease in hardness occurs on tempering at 100 C. Tempering at 200 C. does not decrease the RC hardness below 66.
Steel to be used according to the present invention proved in tests not only equal to a steel normally used for rifling tools with a tungsten content of 8% but was even superior in many cases.
The main advantage of the alloy used according to the present invention as compared with the steels normally known to be used for rifling used for extremely hard works, and as they are tools and having a high content of tungsten is its subjected to mechanical wear, the have to congreater toughness. Accordingly its application tain in their micro-structure carbides of very is not only valuable for rifling and grooving tools great hardness embedded in a hard matrix. As or drawing dies but generally for tools exposed is commonly known, steel of high carbon content to excessive wear and shock. is chosen and this steel is alloyed with the car- 0 What we claim is: bide forming elements chromium, vanadium and 1. Water hardening alloy tool steel having an tungsten, tungsten representing the main addi- RC hardness in the range of 65 to '70 and contion, the known alloys having a content of mostly taining more than 1% C, up to 1.5% Cr, up to 0.5% V 1.0 to 2.0% carbon and 4 to 8% W. The content of tungsten may be 0.8 to 2.5% vanadium reduced to 2%. The high content of tungsten 0.5 toless than 2% tungsten balance iron and impurities.
