Vanadis 23 SuperClean Steel

Vanadis 23 SuperClean Steel

Steel name: Vanadis 23 SuperClean
Diagram No.: 2768
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.3395
AISI/SAE designation: ~M3:2
Chemical composition in weight %: 1.28% C, 4.20% Cr, 5.00% Mo, 3.10% V, 6.40% W
Steel group: PM high speed steels
Properties: Uddeholm Vanadis 23 SuperClean is a high alloyed powder metallurgical high speed steel corresponding to AISI M3:2 with a very good abrasive wear resistance in combination with a high compressive strength. It is suitable for demanding cold work applications like blanking of harder materials like carbon steel or cold rolled strip steel and for cutting tools. The machinability and grindability are superior than for conventional high speed steel and so is the dimensional stability after heat treatment. The superclean powder metallurgy process ensures that the cleanliness is on a high level with a low amount of non-metallic inclusions.
Applications: Uddeholm Vanadis 23 SuperClean is especially suitable for blanking and forming of thinner work materials where a mixed (abrasive– adhesive) or abrasive type of wear is encountered and where the risk for plastic deformation of the working surfaces of the tool is high.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: Pre-heating temperature: 450–500°C (840– 930°F) and 850–900°C (1560–1650°F). Austenitizing temperature: 1050–1180°C (1920–2160°F) according to the desired final hardness, see diagram below.
Quenching media: Vacuum furnace with high speed gas at sufficient overpressure (2–5 bar). Martempering bath or fluidized bed at approx. 550°C (1020°F). Forced air/gas.
Tempering: For cold work applications tempering should always be carried out at 560°C (1040°F) irrespective of the austenitizing temperature. Temper three times for one hour at full tem-perature. The tool should be cooled to room temperature between the tempers. The retained austenite content will be less than 1% after this tempering cycle.
Diagram note: No data.
