Rigor Steel

Rigor Steel

Steel name: Rigor
Diagram No.: 2752
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.2363
EN designation: X100CrMoV5
Chemical composition in weight %: 1.00% C, 0.30% Si, 0.60% Mn, 5.30% Cr, 1.10% Mo, 0.20% V
Steel group: Tool steels
Properties: Uddeholm Rigor is an air- or oil hardening chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed tool steel.
Applications: Uddeholm Rigor takes a place in the Uddeholm tool steel range between Uddeholm Arne and Uddeholm Sverker 21, offering an excellent combination of good wear resistance and toughness. It may be regarded, therefore, as a “universal” cold work steel. For cutting operations the good toughness of Uddeholm Rigor gives excellent resistance to chipping of the cutting edge. In many cases tools made from this steel have given better tooling economy than high-carbon, highchromium steel of the BD3/W.-Nr. 2080 type. Uddeholm Rigor has much better machining and grinding properties.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: Preheating temperature: 650–750°C (1200– 1300°F). Austenitizing temperature: 925–970°C (1690– 1780°F) but usually 940–960°C (1720–1760°F).
Quenching media: Martempering bath or fluidized bed at 180– 220°C (360–430°F) or 450–550°C (840–1020°F) then cool in air. Circulating air or atmosphere. Vacuum furnace with overpressure of gas at cooling. Oil (only for small and uncomplicated tools).
Tempering: Choose the tempering temperature according to the hardness required by reference to the tempering graph. Temper twice with intermediate cooling to room temperature. Lowest tempering temperature 180°C (360°F). Holding time at temperature minimum 2 hours.
Diagram note: The tempering graphs are valid for small samples. The hardness received is also dependent on the tool size.
