Külmtöötlustööriistaterased
Külmtöötlustööriistaterased are a group of high-carbon, low-alloy steels specifically designed for applications involving cold forming processes. These steels are characterized by their excellent hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making them suitable for tools used in operations such as stamping, drawing, bending, and extrusion at or near room temperature. The key properties are achieved through precise control of their chemical composition, typically including higher levels of carbon (often exceeding 1%) and alloying elements like chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium. These elements contribute to the formation of hard carbides within the steel matrix, which provide superior resistance to abrasion and deformation.
The manufacturing process for külmtöötlustööriistaterased involves careful heat treatment to optimize their microstructure. This typically includes
