No. 478,116 Claims priority, application Canada, June 4, 1965, 932,496 4 Claims. (Cl. 75-126) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLDSURE A high speed tool steel which in its hardening state has improved hardness suitably of the order of R 70 hardness and thus improved wear resistance as well as improved toughness which steel consists of, on a percentage basis, 1.15 to 1.25 carbon, 4.00 to 4.5 chromium, 4.25 to 5.00 tungsten, 1.85 to 2.15 vanadium, 6.75 to 7.75 cobalt, 7.00 to 8.00 molybdenum, .20 to .40 manganese and .15 to .45 silicon, the balance being iron and residual impurities.
This invention relates to a new and improved steel composition and more particularly to a steel composition especially adapted for tool steels employed in high speed operations.
Among the properties which are desired for high speed tool steels are versatility, low ingot cost, suitable grindability, workability and response to heat treatment, and adequate tool life as related to heavy cutting and high speed machining and measured in terms of red hardness and abrasion resistance. Tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium and cobalt are the alloying elements found in these steels.
it is an object of this invention to provide a tool steel having high speed machining features superior to present steel compositions while still maintaining properties of versatility, suitable grindability, and workability and adequate response to heat treatment.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent from the description to follow:
The objects of this invention are attained in a tool The balance iron plus residual impurities.
Some preferred percentage compositions were analysed as follows:
C Mn Si P S C! W V M0 Co The balance iron plus residual impurities.
Car
Phosphorus and sulfur are considered as impurities at their low levels, the manganese being employed to reduce the harmful effects of sulfur on the hot workability of the steel.
A preferred heat treatment of the steel includes a preheat step of 1500-1550 F. followed by hardening at 2175-2225 F. with a recommended temperature being 2200 F. The material is then tempered at from 95 0-1200 F. with maximum hardness produced by a triple temper at 975102'5 F. with 2 hours of each temper.
An induction heat (H245) having the composition in preferred analysis No. 1 was meled, cast and processed to tool bit size for a comparative evaluation with the tool steel (H248) described in US. Patent 2,996,376. This latter composition analysed as follows:
Some of the test data are graphically illustrated in FIG- URES 1-3.
TOUGHNESS COMPARISONS Un-notched izods were prepared by fully heat treating oversize bars, then carefully finish grinding in the hardened condition using a soft wheel and low metal removal rate. All specimens were magnafluxed prior to testing.
The results are shown below and it will be noted that H245 is marginally superior to H248.

TOOL LIFE TESTS Four sets of tool steels were cut from /8" square annealed stock. Two sets which were used corresponded to the analysis of H245 and H248. The other two tool steels analysed as follows:
C Mn Si Cr W V Mo C0 A.1.S.1. T-15 1.25 .30 .39 4.25 10.00 4. 30 2 50 5. 50 11.1.5.1. M-34 90 30 25 3. 75 1. 45 2. 05 8 8. 25
The tools ground from these grades had the following dimensions:
Back rake degrees 0 Side rake do 10 Side cutting edge angle do 15 End cutting edge angle do 5 Relief "do"--. 5 -Nose radius inches .030
A.1.S.1. H-ll was the material used to rate the tools. A 3" diameter rod, 15" long of H-ll was quenched and tempered at 50 R Tool life was then measured against cutting speeds and the results are shown in FIG. 3. It will be observed that composition H245 has about twice the wear life of H248.
3 HARDNESS COMPARISONS (1) Room temperature hardness.Samples about /2" x /2" x 1" were cut from the 4 /4" R sq. billets. Samples were salt hardened from 2100, 2150, 2200, 2250, 2300 and 2350 F., interrupt quenched at 1050 F. subsequently double tempered (2 hours each) at 1000, 1100 and 1200 F. The resultant hardness shown in It will be observed that on the basis of the above-noted tests, H245 is superior in hot hardness and grindability, and markedly better in tool life than H248, while still maintaining equivalent toughness to H248.
