El calentamiento r\u00e1pido puede causar agrietamiento y deformaci\u00f3n, por lo que se recomienda un proceso de precalentamiento de dos etapas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primera etapa: Caliente el acero para herramientas D6 a aproximadamente 650\u00b0C (1200\u00b0F). Esta temperatura inicial permite que el acero se caliente de manera uniforme y alivie tensiones antes de volverse excesivamente blando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Segunda etapa: Eleve la temperatura a aproximadamente 850\u00b0C (1560\u00b0F). El calentamiento completo y uniforme es esencial en ambas etapas, lo que tambi\u00e9n reduce el tiempo requerido para la etapa posterior de austenizaci\u00f3n a alta temperatura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Austenizaci\u00f3n (endurecimiento)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s de un precalentamiento completo, eleve la temperatura a la temperatura de austenizaci\u00f3n del acero D6 de 1725\u00b0F (940\u00b0C). A esta temperatura, mantenga durante 15 minutos para el acero D6 peque\u00f1o y 45 minutos para piezas grandes, seg\u00fan la experiencia. El tiempo de austenizaci\u00f3n debe controlarse estrictamente para garantizar la uniformidad de la temperatura y la disoluci\u00f3n completa de los carburos. Sin embargo, se debe evitar el tiempo de mantenimiento excesivo para prevenir el crecimiento anormal del grano de austenita, que podr\u00eda degradar las propiedades del acero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El acero D6 debe templarse en aceite. Cuando el D6 est\u00e1 en el aceite, el aceite debe agitarse continuamente. Retire el acero D6 del aceite de temple cuando su temperatura descienda a aproximadamente 60\u201380\u00b0C y revi\u00e9nelo inmediatamente para reducir el riesgo de agrietamiento. Nunca permita que se enfr\u00ede a temperatura ambiente antes del revenido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revenido<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El revenido elimina las tensiones internas generadas durante el temple del acero D6 y transforma la austenita retenida. El revenido debe realizarse inmediatamente despu\u00e9s del temple a 60\u201380\u00b0C. Esperar hasta la temperatura ambiente puede causar acumulaci\u00f3n de tensiones y agrietamiento. Se recomienda un proceso de revenido de dos etapas para el acero D6. T\u00edpicamente, el D6 se reviene primero a aproximadamente 200\u00b0C para lograr una dureza de aproximadamente 60 HRC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">La relaci\u00f3n entre la temperatura de revenido y la dureza<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Temperatura de revenido (\u00b0F \/ \u00b0C)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Dureza (Rockwell C)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Reci\u00e9n templado<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>67<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">300 \u00b0F \/ 150 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">65<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">400 \u00b0F \/ 205 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">64<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">500 \u00b0F \/ 260 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">63<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">600 \u00b0F \/ 315 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">62<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">700 \u00b0F \/ 370 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">61<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">800 \u00b0F \/ 425 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">61<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">900 \u00b0F \/ 480 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">58<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1000 \u00b0F \/ 540 \u00b0C<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">55<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">TEMPERATURA DE PRECALENTAMIENTO:&nbsp;1200\u00b0F\/650\u00b0C, TEMPERATURA DE ENDURECIMIENTO:&nbsp;1725\u00b0F\/940\u00b0C, TEMPLE EN ACEITE, COMPOSICI\u00d3N QU\u00cdMICA:&nbsp;Carbono&nbsp;2.10%, Manganeso 0.30%, &nbsp;Silicio 0.85%, Cromo 12.00%, Tungsteno 0.75%<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problemas comunes y soluciones en el tratamiento t\u00e9rmico del acero D6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agrietamiento<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las grietas de temple generalmente resultan de un enfriamiento excesivo antes del revenido, un enfriamiento desigual durante el temple o puntos de concentraci\u00f3n de tensiones, como esquinas afiladas o marcas de estampado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La soluci\u00f3n implica retirar las piezas del temple en aceite mientras a\u00fan est\u00e9n calientes al tacto y transferirlas inmediatamente a un horno de revenido precalentado.
