%: C: 2.03 Si: 4.0 Mn: 7.0 Cr: 6.5 Mo: 10.5 V: 6.5 Good grinding performance

Good heat treatment dimensional stability

Good toughness

Very good red hardness

Very good wear resistance ASP60 steel is especially suitable for single-edged tools that have high requirements on steel wear resistance and red hardness.

Such tools include cutting tools, cut-off cnc turning tools, forming tools, cold work tools and tools for processing materials that are difficult to machine.

The machining performance of ASP 60 is low in the annealed state. If the tool manufacturing allows, ASP 60 will show good performance on the final tool. For example: end mills, cutting tools with a simple shape but extremely long life or simple cold work tools. ASP60 steel can reach very high hardness and red hardness. In addition, ASP60, like other ASP series steels, has the advantage of good stability in size and shape during hardening. And, regardless of size, they all have the same toughness. The machinability is lower than other high speed steels. The grinding performance is better than other high-alloy high-speed steels, but slightly inferior to ASP30. Temperature℃

J/Kg℃ 420 510 600 ASP60 can be thermoplastic forged, cnc machined parts, grinded, electrically processed, welded and polished like other high-speed steels. But cold forming processing should be avoided.

Grinding and electrical machining capabilities can be well applied to high-alloy ASP 60. During grinding, local surface overheating must be avoided, and tungsten steel or high-speed steel tools can be used for machining. Flexural strength is used to measure the toughness of a material. The toughness and hardness of the material can be controlled through different quenching temperatures.

The bending test specimen is a round bar with a diameter of 5mm, which is quenched and tempered three times at 560°C, each time holding for one hour.

Rmb=ultimate bending strength KN/mm2,±10%.

Reb = bending yield strength KN/mm2, ±5%.
