This video from the Seco/Warwick Group features an interview with Dan Herring, the world-acclaimed Heat Treat Doctor.
Heat treatment of tool steels means several phase transformations. Every phase transformation must be described by start amount, end amount, and kinetics (change of phases depending on temperature and time). Start and end amount can be calculated with different thermodynamic software. For example, Thermocalc is well validated for tool steels. All of the aforementioned data […]
