Factory Price JIS SKH4 DIN 1.3265/S18-1-2-10 ASTM T5/T12005 Forged Steel Round Bar
AISI T5 tool steel is one of tungsten type high speed tool steel, which belongs to ASTM A600specification, the standard for high speed tool steel materials. T4 tool steel is similar to T1 Tool Steel materials, but with 4.25~5.75% cobalt added to increase heat resistance. The red hardness of T4 steel and the high temperature hardness is a little higher than T1 tool steel. AISI T4 tool steel is a deep hardening alloy capable of Rockwell C 64 hardness.

6. ASTM T5 Tool Steel Heat Treatment
Annealing of T-5 Steel
Annealing is recommended after hot working and before re hardening
Heat the temperature to 850°C at a rate of no more than 220°C per hour.
Hold at the temperature for one hour per inch of thickness(at least two hours).
Cool slowly in the furnace or in air to ambient temperature.
The resultant hardness achieved should be Max 255HB or lower.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 600-650oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening of Steel T5
Preheat T5 tool steel slowly to the temperature of 820-870°C.
Heat to the final hardening temperature of 1250°C and make sure the material must be heated through.
Quench in the warm oil,and then complete the quench in air.(care must be taken at this step)
Tempering of T-5 Steel
Tempering temperature: 550-590oC.
7: Delivery condition
For hot rolled bar, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed, Black surface.
For cold drawn plate, usually the delivery condition is cold drawn, annealed, milled surface
For hot rolled plate, usually the delivery condition is hot rolled, annealed, black surface.
We are professional manufacturer for many years. we can provide a wide range of steel products.
Usually bundling for large diameter,small diameter bars in bulk or as customer's demand.
The hardness after heat treatment is higher than D2/1.2379/Cr12Mo1V1, and can reach 61-63HRC after high-temperature tempering (525 ± 5 ℃); In terms of strength and wear resistance, it exceeds Cr12Mo1V1, and its toughness is higher than D2/1.2379/Cr12Mo1V1; The manufactured molds rarely have cracks and fissures, greatly improving their service life; The residual stress after wire cutting processing is smaller than that of Cr12Mo1V1; The cutting and grinding performance exceeds Cr12Mo1V1.
Suitable for manufacturing precision punching dies and stamping dies for cold forging, deep drawing, and wire rolling for wire cutting processing.
