STEELW.NR. 1.2714
Main characteristics and applications
Ni – Cr – Mo die steel characterized by high level hardenability and toughness, good resistance to repeated thermal and good wear resistance.
Main applications:
• hammer and press forging dies.
• rams for power hammers.
• hot mill rolls.
• very hard cold work dies and punches.
It is advisable to use the blocks for dies treated at various hardness limits according to the depth cavity complying with the indications given below.
| Cavity depth (mm) | HRC | R(N/mm2) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 39÷43 | 1200/1350 |
| 50 | 36÷42 | 1100/1320 |
| 100 | 32÷38 | 980/1170 |
Before starting machining, preheat the tools to temperatures between 250 – 300°C.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annealing | Heat to 700 - 720 °C | Min. H.T. for 2 minute /mm | Air or furnace | In order to obtain hardness lower than 240 HB ( 23 HRC) to improve machinability | |
| Stress relieving | Heat to 600 - 650 °C (max 30 °C below tempering temperature) | Min. H.T. for 2 minute /mm | Air or furnace | To be carried out after machining, is recommended to eliminate the residual stresses induced by mechanical working | |
| Hardening | Initial preheating to 350-450°C Second preheating to 650-750°C Heat to hardening temperature to 850-870°C and hold at temperature | Min. H.T. for 1 minute /mm | Oil | - | |

| Tempering | In the range 550 – 600°C for at least 3 h according to hardness requirements and conditions of use. Tempering must be repeated a second time at a temperature equal to or 20°C lower than the previous. Before tempering, the parts must be preheated to 200 – 300°C | Air | Usual service hardness: 44-52 HRC | ||
