Bending strength of M2 steel:
Bending strength is a parameter used to measure the toughness of a material.By the following
The curve shows that different quenching temperatures correspond to different toughness
And hardness.
Round rod 5mm in diameter, hardened and 560O
C, 2 x 1 hr
Bending strength after fire of M2 steel :
Rmb = ultimate bending strength kN/mm2 ± 10%
Reb = bending yield strength kN/mm2 ± 10%
HRC= Hardness value ± 1HRC
Heat treatment of M2 steel:
Softening annealing: annealing temperature 850-900℃, slowly cooling to 700℃ per hour after air cooling, hardness value is lower than
260HB stress relief treatment: treatment temperature 600-700O ℃ heat preservation for about 2 hours, slow cooling to 500O ℃ after air cooling
Hardening treatment: preheating temperature is divided into poles of 450-500℃, 850-900℃.
Austenitizing temperature: 1050-1200℃ quenching to about 550 after air cooling to room temperature recommended 560℃ tempering at least twice (each holding time to
One hour less)
Surface treatment of M2 Steel :
M2 steel can be nitrided (recommended nitrided depth of 2-20 µm) or steam treated.M2 steel is very suitable for physical Vapor deposition (PVD)
And chemical phase deposition (CVD).
Hardening treatment recommendations for M2 steel :
