Mat.No. 1.2516/DIN 120WV4
Designation by Standards
| Mat. No. | DIN | EN | AISI |
| 1.2516 | 120WV4 | - | - |
Chemical Composition (in weight %)
| C | Si | Mn | Cr | Mo | Ni | V | W | Others |
| 1.20 | 0.23 | 0.28 | 0.20 | - | - | 0.10 | 1.00 | - |
Applications
Twist drills and tapes, ejectors, punches, reamers, countersinks, engraving tools, metal cutting saws. Usually delivered as silver steel.
Physical properties (average values) at ambient temperature
Modulus of elasticity [103 x N/mm2]: 215
Density [g/cm3]: 7.85
Thermal conductivity [W/m.K]: 31.5
Electric resistivity [Ohm mm2/m]: 0.30
Specific heat capacity[J/g.K]: 0.46
Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion 10-6 oC-1
| 20-100oC | 20-200oC | 20-300oC | 20-400oC | 20-500oC |
| 10.5 | 11.0 | 11.5 | 12.2 | 13.0 |
Soft Annealing
Heat to 720-750oC, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 230.
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 760-820oC, 800-840oC followed by water or oil quenching. Hardness after quenching is 64-66 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 150-250oC.
Tempering Temperature (oC) vs. Hardness (HRC)
| 100oC | 200oC | 300oC | 400oC |
| 66 | 65 | 59 | 53 |
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050-850oC.
Machinability
No data.
