These rods and discs are decarb free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.
S7 tool steel heat treat.
All steels must be.
As an air hardening grade s7 is stable for heat treatment and its combination of high machinability and dimensional stability makes it ideal for a variety of different tool and.
Its charpy a test that measures the impact strength is over 200 ft lb.
S7 d2 and a2 tool steels are usually always through hardened in vacuum furnaces to preserve clean smooth surface profiles.
It can be quenched in air exhibiting minimal distortion on hardening.
S7 is easy to machine in the annealed condition and can be readily heat treated.
The combination of strength and high toughness makes it a candidate for a wide variety of tooling applications.
A rule of thumb is that liquid quenched steels may be tempered once air hardening steel require a double temper and high speed steels should have a triple temper.
Air hardening and versatile enough for use in both cold and hot work tooling make s7 suitable for a wide range of applications that require shock resistance size stability and.
A simplified guide to heat treating tool steels.
Often made into chisels rivets and punches s7 tool steel can handle repeated impact without fracturing.
S7 tool steel is an air hardening or oil hardening tool steel that is characterized by its shock resistance excellent toughness high compression strength and medium wear resistance.
S7 also has medium hot work characteristics making it a versatile tool steel for both cold and warm shock applications as well as plastic molds that require high hardness.
The heat treater s role.
S7 a2 d2 and the high speed steels require multiple tempering cycles.
Proper heat treatment is vital to tool steel performance.
Welding use hot work tool steel filler material 4140 or 4150 type filler material may be satisfactory for small repairs or welds away from working surface of tool.
An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.
It is an air hardening material.
S7 shock resisting tool steel is an air or oil hardening tool steel that is characterized by very high impact toughness.
Without it critical industrial tools like punches forms blanks or shears could not successfully perform their repetitive work.
Heat to 25 50f below tempering temperature hold two hours cool in still air.
Heat to 1200 1250f hold two hours cool in still air.
S7 shock resisting tool steel.
