  2. 11. Influence of microstructure on fatigue and ductility properties of tool steels

    Author : Mats Randelius; Rolf Sandström; Jens Bergström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tool steels; fatigue; ductility; carbides; carbide cluster; inclusion; size distribution; modelling; FEM; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : Fatigue and ductility properties in various tool steels, produced by powder metallurgy, spray forming or conventionally ingot casting, have been analysed experimentally and successfully compared to developed models. The models are able to predict the fatigue limit and cause for fatigue fracture, and strain- and stress-development until fracture during the ductile fracture process respectively. READ MORE

  4. 12. Mechanical Properties, Microstructures and Defects of Tool Steels Fabricated by Additive Manufacturing

    Author : Yuan Miwen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Additive manufacturing; Carbides; Post heat treatment; Directed energy deposition; Softening resistance; Pores; Laser beam powder bed fusion; Solidification cracking; Tool steels;

    Abstract : Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been gaining significant interest in the manufacturing of metallic materials in the recent years. From a techno-commercial standpoint, tooling is one of the areas with low production volumes but very high demands on part performance and complexity in design, all of which are characteristic for metal AM.

  5. 13. On the hot crack formation during solidification of iron-base alloys

    Author : Karin Hansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : hot cracking; hot tearing; cracking fracturing ; tearing; ductility; brittleness; embrittlement; fractures; ductile brittle transition; solidification; iron; copper; nickel; Invar; steels; free machining steels; stainless steels; penetration; crack;

    Abstract : Hot cracking during solidification is a severe problem inmany casting processes, for example in continuous casting.Combinations of low strength and low ductility of the materialat high temperatures and applied tensile stress can cause hotcracking. READ MORE

  6. 14. On the Machinability of High Performance Tool Steels

    Author : Natalia Sandberg; Sture Hogmark; Jens Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hot work tool steels; alloying composition; machinability; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : The continuous development of hot forming tool steels has resulted in steels with improved mechanical properties. A change in alloying composition, primarily a decreased silicon content, makes them tougher and more wear resistant at elevated temperatures. However, it is at the expense of their machinability.

  7. 15. Toughness of Tool Steel

    Author : Henrik Jesperson; Håkan Engqvist; Birger Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Toughness; Tool Steel; Heat Treatment; Temperature; Energy absorption; Impact Testing; Fracture Toughness Testing; Non-metallic Inclusions; Carbides; Nitrides; Statistics; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

    Abstract : Toughness is the ability to resist tensile stresses in the presence of a notch or crack. Sometimes gross cracking of industrial tools, mould or dies, occurs due to insufficient toughness. As the economic consequences of the gross cracking are serious, the toughness of industrial tool material, generally tool steel, is of paramount importance. READ MORE
