Abstract:New materials and heat treatment are being developed worldwide to improve tool life. Tool steels are expensive due to the alloying elements and fabrication costs. Therefore, the maximization of tool life keeping good surface finishing is especially important to keep the processes attractiveness. The application of cryogenic treatment is promising to enhance mechanical and metallurgical properties of cold work tool steel parts. The possibility of increasing the finer secondary carbides content and decreasing am… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
