Abstract

Steels with controlled austenitic transformation during operation (CATO-type steels) are a new class of tool steels intended for operation at temperatures up to 800°C. In CATO-type steels, the effect of α → γ-transformation by heating of the deformed metal during tool heating is realized, providing the effect of austenite hardening from deformation forces. Steel EP930 is the first of the CATO-type steels, introduced into production, but its insufficiently high strength at test temperatures of 600–800°C necessitated the search for methods of hardening treatment. To obtain the maximum high-temperature strength of steel EP930, methods of hardening treatment are tested according to modes ensuring high tool resistance during pressing of difficult-to-deform copper alloys. Analysis shows that the method of hardening steel EP930 in the austenitic state under plastic deformation turned out to be the most promising.
