Elmax SuperClean Steel

Elmax SuperClean Steel

Steel name: Elmax SuperClean
Diagram No.: 2737
Chemical composition in weight %: 1.70% C, 0.80% Si, 0.30% Mn, 18.00% Cr, 1.00% Mo, 3.00% V
Steel group: PM tool steels
Properties: Uddeholm Elmax SuperClean is a high chromium-vanadium-molybdenum -alloyed steel.
Applications: New types of engineering plastics, with high filler contents, place greater demands on the tooling material, in terms of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Uddeholm Elmax SuperClean has been specially developed for high-tech applications. These include pro- ducts within the electronic industry such as connectors, plugs, switches, resistors, integrated circuits, etc. Uddeholm Elmax SuperClean can also be used in the food processing industry and for industrial and custom knives, where a combination of corrosion resistance and wear resistance is required.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: Preheating temperature: 600–850°C (1110–1560°F). Austenitizing temperature: 1050–1100°C (1920– 2010°F), normally 1080°C (1980°F).
Tempering: Choose the tempering temperature according to the hardness required by reference to the tempering graph. Temper twice with intermediate cooling to room temperature, the preferred tempering temperature is 250°C (480°F) or higher. In exceptional cases, a minimum tempering temperature of 180°C (350°F) can be used for small simple inserts and parts where toughness is of less importance. Holding time at tempering temperature minimum 2 hours.
Diagram note: Bellow tempering curves are obtained after heat treatment of samples with a size of 15 x 15 x 40 mm, cooling in forced air. Lower hardness can be expected after heat treatment of tools and dies due to factors like actual tool size and heat treatment parameters.
