Heat treatment Related
- Annealing of O2 Tool steel
Slowly heated to 720-760 ℃（1328-1400℃） and allow enough times, let the steel to be thoroughly heated, Then cool slowly in the furnace. The o2 tool steel will get MAX 250 HB （Brinell hardness）.
- Hardening of o2 tool steel
O2 steels should be heated uniformly to 790-820°C (1454-1508°F) until completely heated through. If needed, the steels can be preheated at 300-500°C (572-932°F). About 30 min/per 25 mm of ruling section is to be provided and then the steels should be immediately quenched in oil.
- Tempering of o2 tool steel
Tempering of O2 steels is performed at 100-400°C (212-752°F), Soak well at the selected temperature and soak for at least one hour per 25mm of total thickness. Get Rockwell C hardness of 50 to 64.
Temperature [℃] 100 150 200 250 300 400
Hardness [HRc] 64-63 63-62 62-61 60-59 56-55 50-49
Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of O2 tool steels are outlined in the following table.
| Poisson’s ratio | Elastic modulus | Thermal expansion | |
| T (25°C) | T (25°C) | T (20-100°C) | |
| 0.27-0.30 | 27557-30458 ksi | 11.2 x 10-6/ºC | |
Applications
O2 steels are mainly used for short run tooling for cold forming dies, blanking dies, and cutting tools operating at ambient temper.
O2 tool steel typical applications include medium run dies, intricate press tools, drawing punches, broaches, bushings, lathe centres, chuck jaws, master cavity sinking hobs, paper cutting machine knives, plug gauges, thread gauges and precision measuring tools. Also commonly used in applications such as cams, cloth cutting knives, cold taps, reamers, collets, cutting hobs, strip slitting cutters, trimmer dies, tube expander rolls, plastic moulds and woodworking knives ature.
