Quality Assurance for Tool Steel Bars
Regular Quality Inspections
- Microstructure Examination: Observing microscopic structure.
- Hardness Testing: Measuring hardness with Rockwell or Vickers testers.
- Heat Treatment Performance Testing: Assessing post-heat treatment performance.
- Chemical Composition Analysis: Analyzing composition using spectrometers or similar tools.
Extreme Testing
- Impact Toughness: Tests steel’s resistance using Charpy impact testers.
- High-Temperature Performance: Evaluates steel’s strength and hardness under heat.
- Fracture Toughness: Assesses steel’s ability to withstand fractures under extreme conditions.
- Fatigue Strength: Measures steel’s endurance under repetitive stress to assess fatigue life.
-
Secured Bundling: Bars are securely bundled with steel straps and wooden supports. Finished products are shipped in wooden crates.
-
Protective Coatings: Our steel bars are coated to prevent corrosion and damage during transit. Additional coating options are available upon request.
-
Labeling and Documentation: Each shipment is clearly labeled and comes with detailed documentation for easy tracking.
Tool steel bar performance is influenced by several key factors:
- Residual Stress: From machining and heat treatment, impacting stability.
- Chemical Composition: Carbon and alloy ratios affecting hardness and strength.
- Load Conditions: Static, dynamic, and impact stresses impacting performance.
- Storage and Transportation: Improper handling causing oxidation or damage.
- Cooling Conditions: Methods affecting performance in high-temperature environments.
Proper storage practices are essential to maintain the performance and longevity of tool steel bars.
- Environmental Control: Maintain stable temperatures to prevent thermal stress.
- Rust Prevention: Apply rust preventive oil or coatings on the surface.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prevent elevated surface temperatures and performance degradation.
- Chemical Separation: Store away from chemicals to prevent corrosion.
- Dust Protection: Use dust covers or sealed containers to prevent dust accumulation.
