Abstract:

The deep cryogenic treatment is a complementary operation that is done on a variety of tool steels aimed at improving their abrasion resistance and hardness. In the case of the H13 hot-work steel, which is widely used at high temperatures as a hot-deformation tool, we need to determine the efficiency of subzero treatment on it at the working temperature. In this regard, this paper is focused on effect of deep cryogenic treatment on the wear behavior of H13 hot-work steel at the working temperature. We compared two types of quench-tempered and quenched-subzero-tempered samples in this study. The microstructure of the samples was determined by scanning electron microscopy and their structure was determined by X-ray diffraction device after the cryogenic treatment. The wear test was performed at work temperature of 600 °C (die temperature in the iron-based alloys forging process). The results indicated that the highest hardness rate has occurred in the quenched-subzero-tempered conditions, which amount is about 26% higher than that of the quenched-tempered in the oil. Applying quenched-subzero-tempered operations has reduced the percentage of residual austenite by 10%. Also, the fine, dispersed, and uniform sediments in this sample are more observed than the quenched-tempered samples. The improved weight lose were respectively achieved by 50% and 44% at temperatures of 25 and 600 °C. The evaluation of the wear surfaces indicates that the abrasion dominant mechanism is close-fitting and tribochemical.

Investigating the Effect of the Deep Cryogenic Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of 1.2080 Tool Steel

Deep cryogenic heat treatment is assumed as a supplementary heat treatment performed on steels before the final tempering treatment to enhance the wear resistance and hardness of the steels. In this study, the effects of the deep cryogenic heat treatment on the wear behavior and corrosion resistance of the 1.2080 tool steel were studied using the wear testing machine and polarization and impeda...

The effect of deep cryogenic treatment on mechanical properties of 80CrMo12 5 tool steel

Cryogenic treatment can be used as a supplemental treatment that is performed on some tool steels between quenching and tempering as an effective method for decreasing retained austenite and increasing wear resistance. In this research, the effect of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on dimensional stability and mechanical properties of 80CrMo12 5 tool steel was investigated. The martensitic trans...
