1.2767 Tool Steel

In the processing of measuring and cutting tool steels, spheroidizing annealing is commonly applied as the preheating stage to enhance structure uniformity and improve machining performance. The final heat treatment cycle typically includes controlled quenching followed by low-temperature tempering, allowing the material to achieve a hardness level of approximately 60–65 HRC. To obtain the desired mechanical properties, factors such as hardening temperature, heating and cooling rates, and soaking time must be optimized based on the component’s size, profile, and chemical composition. The choice of furnace system, quenching medium, and material transfer method also plays a vital role in ensuring consistent quality and performance.
