OMM: Material aspects of Distortion
Size distortion in ledeburitic cold-work tool steels is always higher in longitudinal direction (the direction of main deformation, which is the direction of the elongated carbide stringers). The figure shows the effect in three different cases. If plates for cutting tools made from ledeburitic cold-work tool steels are taken from small bar materials in the […]
