Types correspond to respectiveAISI designations.3.1.1 Carbon Tool Steels, Identification WTypes W1, W2,and W5 are often referred to as water hardening tool steelssince they require rapid quenching rates to attain the necessaryhardness. Except in very

11、 Special.It is controlled for hardenability; the chemical composition isheld to closest limits; and it is subject to rigid tests to ensureuniformity. Grade A is available with three degrees ofhardenability, namely, shallow hardening, regular hardening,and deep hardening.3.1.2.2 Grade C is sometimes

12、referred to as Regular orStandard. It is intended for applications that do not requirecontrolled hardenability and where some latitude in uniformityis permissible.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct respons

If thematerial form or size does not lend itself to accurate hardnessdetermination on -in. (6.4

24、-mm) thick cross-sectional disks,then longitudinal specimens may be used for hardness testing.Examples are round bars less than12 in. (12.7 mm) in diameteror sheet. In this case, the specimen shall be a minimum of 3 in.(76.2 mm) in length and parallel flats shall be ground on theoriginal mill surfac

The hardness valueshall be obtained in accordance with the latest issue of TestMethods and Definitions A370, and shall be the average of atleast five readings taken in an area midway between the centerand

27、 surface of the largest dimension of the cross-sectionalspecimen or along the parallel surfaces of the longitudinalspecimen.
