Effect of Overheating on the Mechanical Properties of Roll-Foundry and Die Steels

The effect of overheating on the properties and structure of roll steels 9Kh2, 9Kh2MF, and 9Kh2SVF and steel 5KhNV used for the production of heavy-duty forging dies is studied. It is shown that the elevation of the heating temperature changes the fracture behavior of roll steels. The temperature of overheating of roll steels is established. It is shown that the consequences of the overheating can be removed by means of subsequent quenching from conventional temperatures (860 – 890°C). The overheating is shown to have a weak effect on the properties of steel 5KhNV, which can be removed by single heating to a temperature of 890°C.
