Heat Treatment and manufacture

DIN 1.2379 Tool Steel Heat treatment and manufactured as below:

  • Forged 

Slowly Heat to 1065ºC~954ºC for Forging the 1.2379 cold work tool steel. No forge below 926ºC.

  • Annealing

Heat to 871~898ºC, Then slowly cooling at 4.4ºC per hour or less in heat treatment furnace.

  • Quenching & Tempering

For get better Mechanical properties of 1.2379 steel, Q+T the steel material is necessary.  1.2379 Tool steels Quenching at 1020~1040ºC, cool in oil or air; Tempering at 180~250ºC.

After tempering hardness HRC | 100 ℃: 63
After tempering hardness HRC | 200 ℃: 61
After tempering hardness HRC | 300 ℃: 59
After tempering hardness HRC | 400 ℃: 58

Application
1.2379 steels are used for Tools used for a long time, wear resistance is very important, such as cutting or forming dies and teeth.
