Şimdi Talep Gönder

6CrW2Si tool steel is a versatile alloy tool steel suitable for both cold and hot working applications, characterized by its impact toughness and wear resistance. Compared to the 4CrW2Si and 5CrW2Si grades, 6CrW2Si typically achieves higher hardness after quenching and exhibits better strength at elevated temperatures.

1) Preheating of 6CrW2Si

Preliminary Heat Treatment Planİşlem Parametreleri
Post-forging General AnnealingHeating temperature is 800 ~ 820°C, hold for 3 ~ 5h, furnace cool to below 550°C, then air cool. Hardness is 229~285HBW. Microstructure is granular pearlite + small amount of carbides.
High-temperature Tempering ProcessHeating temperature is 700 ~ 730°C, hold for 2 ~ 4h, furnace cool to below 500°C then air cool. The purpose is to improve the machinability of the steel.

5. Mechanical Properties

6CrW2Si steel possesses relatively high toughness, high as-quenched hardness, a certain degree of high-temperature strength, and high fatigue strength. It exhibits slight temper brittleness when tempered in the range of 300-350°C. The hardness can reach 54-56 HRC after tempering at 250°C, and 50-52 HRC after tempering at 450°C. This steel’s resistance to tempering and its wear resistance are slightly superior to those of 5CrW2Si steel, but its toughness is comparatively lower.

Chromium-tungsten-silicon (Cr-W-Si) series steels demonstrate high sensitivity to decarburization, and their quenching deformation is difficult to control. Under abrasive wear conditions, they show insufficient wear resistance, and their impact toughness is lower than that of impact-resistant steels containing Molybdenum (Mo) and Nickel (Ni).

6. Applications

6CrW2Si steel is often used to manufacture heavy-duty stamping dies and cold-pressing dies where the failure modes are wear and collapse, or for manufacturing tools and dies that are subjected to impact loads and require high wear resistance, such as pneumatic tools, impact dies, cold shearing blades, blanking and trimming dies, and tools for air hammers.
