IMPAX SUPREMETEMPERING GRAPHChoose the tempering temperature according to thehardness required by reference to the temper-inggraph. Temper twice with intermediate cooling toroom temperature. Lowest tempering temperature180°C (360°F) for small inserts, but preferredminimum is 250°C (480°F). Holding time at temperatureminimum 2 hours.The diagram is valid for small samples 15 x 15 x40 mm (0,6 x 0,6 x 1,6 in.) austenitized 30 min. at850°C (1560°F), quenched in air and tempered2 + 2 hours.HardnessHRC HB55 60055050 50045045400403503530 300250200100 200 300 400 500 600 700°C210 390 570 750 930 1110 1290°FTempering temperatureMachiningrecommendationsThe cutting data below are to be considered asguiding values which must be adapted to existinglocal conditions.

Coolingin air is preferable.Further information can be obtained from theUddeholm Technical Services Report “Flamehardeningof IMPAX SUPREME”.CASE HARDENINGIn order to increase the surface hardness, IMPAXSUPREME can be case hardened. Further informationcan be obtained from your local Uddeholmoffice.NITRIDING AND NITROCARBURIZINGNitriding gives a hard surface which is very resistantto wear and erosion. A nitrided surface alsoincreases the corrosion resistance.For best result the following steps should befollowed:1. Rough machining2. Stress tempering at 550°C (1020°F)3. Grinding4.

More information can be found in theUddeholm brochure “Grinding of Tool Steel”.Electrical-dischargemachiningIf spark-erosion, EDM, is performed in the asde-livered condition, the tool should then be givenan additional temper at approx. 550°C (1020°F).If the steel has been rehardened, the additionaltempering temperature should be 25°C (50°F) lowerthan the last tempering temperature used.Further information can be obtained from theUddeholm brochure “EDM of tool steel”.Hard-chromium-platingAfter hard-chromium-plating, the tool should betempered for approx. 4 hours at 180°C (350°F)within 4 hours of plating in order to avoid hydrogenembrittlement.Type of grindingFace grinding straight wheelFace grinding segmentsCylindrical grindingInternal grindingProfile grindingWheel recommendationA 46 HVA 24 GVA 46 LVA 46 JVA 100 LVPhoto-etchingIMPAX SUPREME is particularly suitable for texturingby the photo-etching process. Its very lowsulphur content ensures accurate and consistentpattern reproduction.For heavy sections an extra tempering at 550°C(1020°F) before photo-etching is recommended.5
