so we will do samples at 800C and 825C. I have previously worked at a warm form facility, so i am aware of the hazards of handling hot metal. we are doing the parts one at a time so that overlap is not an issue.
right now we are making small prototypes, parts will be 1/16 x 1 1/2" x 8". we will heat treat one part at a time in a small muffle furnace. thought was pre-heat furnace to 1200F, add part, heat to 1475F, once part is at temp, soak for 5 minutes then quench. Quenchant temperature is based on...
good morning,
I have received some samples of Bestar BE2519 flat stock. The material is 1/16" x 1 1/2" and is being evaluated for use as a fine slicing blade. Composition is
C: 1.10
Si: 0.25
Mn: 0.3
Cr: 1.20
V: 0.20
W: 1.30
For heat treat I was thinking, heat to 800C, 5 minute soak, quench in...
