VR400 offers high hard tool steel offering a thickness of around 1300 mm. The thickness helps to make blocks of different sizes with exceptional performance and hardening homogeneity. Additionally, it stands out perfectly in plastic injection moulds, big size moulds, and compression moulds. The properties allow it to be used in texturing and the automotive industry. The improved performance and overall design offer several benefits:

  • Increase polishability
  • Good toughness
  • Enhances weldability
  • Thermal conductivity gets much better
  • Makes an exceptional choice for texturing

Annealing Heat to 650 – 700 °C Min. H.T. for 2 minute /mm Air or furnace In order to obtain hardness lower than 250 HB ( 24 HRC) to improve machinability
Stress relieving Heat to 500 – 550 °C Min. H.T. for 2 minute /mm Air or furnace To be carried out after machining, is recommended to eliminate the residual stresses induced by mechanical working
Hardening Heat to 860-900°C Min. H.T. for 1 minute /mm Polymer
Tempering Heat to 550 – 610°C Min. H.T. for 3 minute /mm Air or furnace To be carried out after hardening. 2nd Tempering must be performed to max 30°C below tempering temperature
