Effect of Carburizing and Hardening Temperature on the Endurance of Forming Dies from Steel R6M5

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Results of a study of the effect of carburizing of the forming surfaces of cold upset dies from high-speed steel R6M5 and of the hardening temperature on the structure and properties of the dies are presented. It is shown that the hardness and endurance of the carburized tools can be raised by hardening from lower temperatures.
