Heat treating o6 tool steel

The graphite particles make the steel self-lubricating in dry environments, and help to retain oil in lubricated environments. O6 tool steel can be hardened to over 60 Rockwell C from a relatively low hardening temperature, which minimizes size change and distortion during heat treatment. Tempering: Temper immediately after quenching.

Hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch The actual hardness obtained is dependent upon the section size of the part being quenched and tempered. To minimize internal stresses in cross sections greater than 3 inches Cryogenic Treatment: Refrigeration treatments should typically be performed after the temper, and must be followed by a second temper. Then cool in air to ambient temperature. Hot-work die steel should have not only high hardness, red hardness, abrasion resistance, toughness, but also have excellent high temperature strength, thermal fatigue stability, thermal conductivity, upper hardenability for guaranteeing the whole cross section with consistent mechanical property.
