Lescowear Steel

Lescowear Steel

Steel name: Lescowear
Diagram No.: 1683
Chemical composition in weight %: 1.13% C, 0.30% Mn, 1.20% Si, 7.75% Cr, 1.10% W, 1.55% Mo, 2.40% V
Steel group: Cold work tool steels
Properties: Cold work tool steel is a versatile medium-chromium, air-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a very good combination of toughness and wear resistance. It is available primarily in round bar forms for cold work tooling applications which demand better toughness but comparable wear resistance compared to D2 cold work tool steel and M2 high speed steel.
Applications: Typical applications for thiscold work tool steel include punches, blanking dies, thread roll dies, coining dies, drawing dies, upsetting dies, and rolls.
Reference: Not shown in this demo version.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: 1900-2000°F (1038-1093°C). Equalize and soak at the austenitizing temperature for 30 minutes for pieces up to 1 inch (25.4 mm) in thickness, plus 15 minutes for each additional inch (25.4 mm) of thickness.
Tempering: Temper immediately after quenching. Hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch (25.4 mm) of thickness, 2 hours minimum, then air cool to ambient temperature.
