Evaluation of Special Quality Die Steels
NADCA Project
Die Materials Specifications Task GroupWheeling, IL - February 2009
BohlerUddeholm Dievar Thyssen E38K Thyssen 2367 Ellwood ExELL Tuf-Die SAMPLES4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in oil, triple tempered to 44-46HRC 10- Charpy V-notch, heat treated in oil and triple tempered to 44-46HRC.
4- Thermal fatigue samples quenched in a vacuum furnace and triple tempered to 44-46HRC (welded to a 16” block). 10- Charpy V-notch quenched in oil and triple tempered to 44- 46HRC (cut from plate that was welded to a 16” block).
