CarTech No. 481 Steel
Steel name: No. 481
Diagram No.: 2302
UNS designation: T41905
AISI/SAE designation: S5
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.55% C, 1.90% Si, 0.80% Mn, 0.25% Cr, 0.40% Mo
Steel group: Tool steels
Properties: CarTech No. 481 is a fine-grained, oil hardening, electric furnace shock steel. It combines exceptional toughness to withstand stresses in service with good hardness to resist wear and abrasion. CarTech No. 481 is carefully processed to impart uniform response to heat treatment in both large and small sections.
Applications: Pneumatic tools, chipping chisels, beating tools, caulking tools, flaring tools, scarfing tools, button sets, rivet sets, shear blades, clutch dogsm, vise jaws.
Reference: Not shown in this demo version.
Heat Treatment
Hardening: No. 481 may be hardened from temperatures between 1575/1600°F (857/871°C). Endothermic atmospheres should be held to dew point limits of between 50/60°F (10/15.6°C). Without preheating, place the tool right in the hot furnace and let it heat naturally until its color uniformly matches the color of the thermocouple in the furnace. Soak an additional 5 minutes per inch of thickness, then quench in oil. The temperature of the tool should be brought right down to the temperature of the oil in the quench.
Tempering: See the tabele.
