Copper Based AlloysDetails of some specifications and types available.

The European brass rod industry and their associated nationalstandards organisations have co-operated to create a range ofinternational material specifications for extruded brass products.

The UK brass rod industry is acting collectively to keep customersand potential users fully informed on the style, content andapplication of the new standards. The standards were officiallyadopted in May 1998.

As a first step to assist in the transition, a list is shown below whichgives the old and new alloy designations of the most popularalloys.

Tool SteelHEAT TREATMENT

01 COLD WORK STEELAnnealing:Heat to 760°-780°C and hold for sufficient time to ensure uniformity then allow tocool slowly. This should result in a hardness of 229HB max.

Hardening:Pre-heat 650°-700°CC oil quench from 800°-820°C. Do not soak.

Tempering:Temper as soon as possible after hardening to suit requirements refer to temperingcurve for typical hardness.

D3 COLD WORK STEELAnnealing:Heat to 850°-870°C and hold for sufficient time to ensure uniformity then allow tocool slowly. This should result in a hardness of 255HB max.

Hardening:Pre-heat 750°-800°CC oil quench from 930°-950°C.

Tempering:Temper as soon as possible after hardening to suit requirements refer to temperingcurve for typical hardness.
