Evaluation of Special Quality Die Steels NADCA Project Die Materials Committee Purdue – Oct. 2009
STEELS BohlerUddeholm Dievar Thyssen E38K Thyssen 2367 Ellwood ExELL Tuf-Die SAMPLES-Phase I 4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in oil, triple tempered to 44-46HRC 5- Charpy V-notch, heat treated in oil and triple tempered to 44-46HRC. 4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in a vacuum furnace and triple tempered to 44-46HRC (welded to a 16” block). 5- Charpy V-notch quenched in vacuum and triple tempered to 44- 46HRC (cut from plate that was welded to a 16” block).
STEELS BohlerUddeholm Dievar Thyssen E38K Thyssen 2367 Ellwood ExELL Tuf-Die SAMPLES-Phase II 4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in oil, triple tempered to 48-50HRC 5- Charpy V-notch, heat treated in oil and triple tempered to 48-50HRC. 4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in a vacuum furnace and triple tempered to 48-50HRC (welded to a 16” block). 5- Charpy V-notch quenched in vacuum and triple tempered to 48- 50HRC (cut from plate that was welded to a 16” block).
