Diagram No.: 2579
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.4542
DIN designation: X5CrNiCuNb17-4
AISI/SAE designation: 17.4PH
AFNOR designation: X5CrNiCuNb16-4
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.08% C, 1.00% Si, 1.0% Mn, 15.00-17.00% Cr, 3.00-5.00% Ni, 3.00-5.00% Cu
Steel group: Stainless steels
Properties: EskyLos 4542 is a stainless steel and it is it particularly suitable for the manufacture of dies and moulds subjected to high mechanical stress. EskyLos 4542 is obtained through a special 'super clean' manufacturing process and by using the ESR (Electro-Slag-Melting) technology.
Applications: EskyLos 4542 lends itself to the following applications: Plastic moulding, Extrusion.
Reference: Not shown in this demo version.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: Solubilisation is suggested at the temperature of 1.040°C, followed by a stress relieving at 400 °C.
Tempering: The mechanical characteristics are obtained through a Precipitation Hardening heat treatment carried out at a temperature of 480 – 620 °C.
Diagram note: YS and UTS versus Precipitation Hardening temperature for EskyLos®4542; soaking time are calculated after the achievement of the aimed temperature in the core of the section, according to the suggested table. The attached data are for illustration purposes only; they can be modified with different heat treatment facility, time-temperatures parameters and thickness of the die.
