DIN EN AISI 1.2008 140Cr
Designation by Standards
| Mat. No. | DIN | EN | AISI |
| 1.2008 | 140Cr3 | - | - |
Chemical Composition (in weight %)
| C | Si | Mn | Cr | Mo | Ni | V | W | Others |
| 1.42 | 0.23 | 0.33 | 0.55 | - | - | - | - | - |
Applications
Cold work tools for grey cast iron, brass, copper, stone etc.
Physical properties (average values) at ambient temperature
Modulus of elasticity [103 x N/mm2]: 210
Density [g/cm3]: 7.80
Soft Annealing
Heat to 720-760oC, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 220.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to approx. 650oC, holding for 1-2 hours at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 770-810oC, 780-840oC followed by water or oil quenching. Hardness after quenching is approx. 66 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 150-200oC. Average hardness after tempering is 60-65 HRC.
Tempering Temperature (oC) vs. Hardness (HRC)
| 100oC | 200oC | 300oC | 400oC | 500oC |
| 66 | 63.5 | 58.5 | 51.5 | 42 |
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1000-800oC.
