Description

5CrW2Si Mold steel belongs to steel impact-resistant tool steel. The composition and properties are like 4CrW2Si. 5CrW2Si is made by adding 2.00%~2.50% tungsten on the basis of chromium silicon steel. Thanks to the addition of tungsten, it helps to maintain relatively fine grains during quenching. This makes it possible to get higher toughness in the tempered state. Improve tempering stability. The steel also has certain hardenability and high-temperature mechanical properties.

Heat Treatment 

Steel ingot: heating temperature 1180~1200℃, initial forging temperature 1150~1170℃, final forging temperature ≥850℃, slow cooling.

Billet: heating temperature 1150~1180℃, initial forging temperature 1120~1150℃, final forging temperature ≥850℃, slow cooling.

Normal annealing specification:

Temperature 800~820℃ Critical point temperature (approximate value) Ac1=755℃, holding time 3~4h, and then slowly cooling to temperature ≤600~650℃ at a cooling rate of ≤30℃/h, and then air cooling out of the furnace. Heat treatment specification: sample quenching 860~900℃, oil cooling.

The high temperature tempering specification temperature is 710~740℃, after soaking, the holding time is 3~4h, and then the furnace is cooled or the furnace is air cooled.

The standard temperature of isothermal annealing is 750~760℃, holding for 8~10h, and then slowly cooling to temperature ≤650℃ at a cooling rate of 10~20℃/h, and then air cooling out of the furnace. The hardness is 207~235HBS, and better processing performance can be obtained.
