Overview** **Industeel TENASTEEL®** is a proprietary family of **premium through-hardening cold work tool steels** engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding wear applications. Characterized by their **high hardness, outstanding wear resistance, and good dimensional stability**, TENASTEEL® grades are specifically designed for applications involving blanking, punching, forming, and cutting of metals and other materials. These steels are produced using advanced metallurgical processes to ensure **superior carbide distribution, cleanliness, and homogeneity**, resulting in extended tool life, reduced downtime, and improved productivity in high-volume manufacturing operations. The TENASTEEL® range offers multiple grades optimized for different performance requirements, from general-purpose applications to extreme wear resistance. ## **2. International Standards & Specifications** TENASTEEL® is a proprietary family with grades that correlate to, but often exceed, standard cold work tool steel classifications. * **Primary Manufacturer Standard:** * **Industeel TENASTEEL® [Grade Number]:** Proprietary specifications defining each grade's unique properties and performance guarantees. * **Key Grade Correlations & Equivalents:** * **TENASTEEL® C corresponds to:** **AISI O1 / DIN 1.2510** - Oil-hardening, general-purpose cold work steel. * **TENASTEEL® D corresponds to:** **AISI D2 / DIN 1.2379** - High-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening steel for excellent wear resistance. * **TENASTEEL® A corresponds to:** **AISI A2 / DIN 1.2363** - Intermediate air-hardening steel balancing wear resistance and toughness. * **TENASTEEL® S (Special Grades):** May correspond to premium variants like **D2 Modified, D3, or specialized compositions** for specific applications. * **ISO 4957:** Grades correspond to standard classifications such as **100MnCrW4, X153CrMoV12, X100CrMoV5**. * **Industry Position:** Positioned as **high-quality, consistent alternatives** to standard grades, often featuring improved cleanliness, more uniform carbide distribution, and tighter property guarantees. ## **3. Chemical Composition (Weight %, Typical by Grade)** The composition varies significantly by grade to target specific property combinations. | Element / Grade | **TENASTEEL® C (O1 Type)** | **TENASTEEL® A (A2 Type)** | **TENASTEEL® D (D2 Type)** | **Role & Benefit** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.90 – 1.05 | 0.95 – 1.05 | 1.50 – 1.60 | Primary source of hardness and carbide formation. Higher in D-type for extreme wear. | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 0.40 – 0.60 | 4.80 – 5.50 | 11.00 – 12.50 | Enhances hardenability, wear resistance (forms Cr₇C₃), and provides mild corrosion resistance. Critical in D-type. | | **Molybdenum (Mo)** | – | 0.90 – 1.10 | 0.70 – 0.90 | Improves hardenability, toughness, and refines grain structure. | | **Vanadium (V)** | 0.10 – 0.20 | 0.15 – 0.30 | 0.80 – 1.00 | Forms very hard vanadium carbides (VC) for wear resistance and grain refinement. Higher in D-type. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 1.00 – 1.20 | 0.40 – 0.70 | 0.40 – 0.60 | Aids in hardenability and deoxidation. | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.15 – 0.35 | 0.15 – 0.35 | 0.15 – 0.35 | Deoxidizer. | | **Tungsten (W)** | 0.40 – 0.60 (in C-type) | – | – | Contributes to wear resistance and hardenability in O1-type steels. | ## **4. Typical Physical & Mechanical Properties (Heat Treated)** * **Heat Treatment (General):** * **Preheating:** Essential to prevent cracking (e.g., 650°C then 850°C). * **Austenitizing:** Grade-specific (e.g., 790-820°C for C-type, 980-1020°C for D-type). * **Quenching:** Oil (C-type) or Air (A/D-types). * **Tempering:** Double tempering recommended. Temper immediately after quenching. Temperature controls final hardness (e.g., 150-250°C for high hardness, 400-550°C for high toughness). * **Mechanical Properties by Grade (Hardened & Tempered):** | Property | **TENASTEEL® C** | **TENASTEEL® A** | **TENASTEEL® D** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Typical Hardness** | 60 – 62 HRC | 60 – 62 HRC | 58 – 62 HRC (Often used at ~60-61 HRC) | | **Tensile Strength** | ~ 2000 MPa | ~ 2000 MPa | ~ 1900 MPa | | **Compressive Strength** | High | Very High | **Exceptionally High** | | **Impact Toughness** | **Good** | **Very Good** | Moderate (Trade-off for extreme wear) | | **Wear Resistance** | Good | Very Good | **Excellent** | | **Dimensional Stability** | Good (Oil-quench has more risk) | **Very Good** (Air-quench) | **Excellent** (Air-quench, minimal distortion) | * **Key Performance Features:** * **Wear Resistance:** TENASTEEL® D offers the highest resistance due to high volume of hard chromium and vanadium carbides. * **Toughness:** TENASTEEL® A offers an excellent balance. TENASTEEL® C is also good but less dimensionally stable. * **Grindability:** Varies by grade; D-type is more challenging due to high carbide volume. ## **5. Product Application** Application dictates grade selection within the TENASTEEL® family. * **Blanking, Piercing & Shearing:** * **TENASTEEL® D/A:** Progressive die inserts, punches, and dies for medium/hard materials. * **TENASTEEL® C:** Simple blanking tools, shear blades for softer materials. * **Forming, Bending & Drawing:** * **TENASTEEL® A:** Excellent for forming dies, bending tools, and draw rings requiring good toughness. * **TENASTEEL® C:** Suitable for lighter forming applications. * **Cutting & Slitting:** * **TENASTEEL® D:** Slitter knives, circular cutters for abrasive materials. * **Cold Forging & Extrusion:** * **TENASTEEL® D/A:** Punches, dies, and inserts for cold forging. * **General Tooling & Wear Parts:** * **TENASTEEL® A/D:** Gages, fixtures, wear plates, and guide rails. ## **6. Key Features & Advantages of TENASTEEL®** * **Optimized Grade Selection:** A family of steels allowing precise matching of material properties to specific application needs (wear vs. toughness vs. stability). * **Superior Consistency & Cleanliness:** Advanced manufacturing ensures uniform carbide distribution and minimal non-metallic inclusions, leading to predictable heat treatment response and performance. * **Excellent Dimensional Stability (A/D-types):** Air-hardening grades minimize distortion during heat treatment, crucial for precision tools. * **High Wear Resistance:** Particularly TENASTEEL® D, provides extended tool life in abrasive applications. * **Good Toughness-Hardness Balance:** TENASTEEL® A is renowned for this balance, reducing chipping risk. * **Reliable Heat Treatment Response:** Well-documented and consistent behavior during hardening and tempering. ## **7. Processing Guidelines** * **Machining:** Perform in annealed condition. D-type is more abrasive on tools. Use appropriate cutting parameters. * **Heat Treatment:** **Follow grade-specific guidelines meticulously.** Use protective atmosphere to prevent decarburization. **Always double temper.** * **Grinding:** Use proper wheels (aluminum oxide for C/A-types, CBN for D-type). Avoid grinding burns by using correct feeds and cooling. * **Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM):** Can be used. A low-temperature stress relief (180-200°C) after EDM is recommended to mitigate the brittle "white layer." * **Surface Treatment:** All grades are excellent candidates for **nitriding, PVD (TiN, TiAlN), or CVD coatings** to further enhance surface performance. **Summary:** The Industeel TENASTEEL® family provides a systematic, high-quality solution for the full spectrum of cold work tooling challenges. By offering distinct grades that correlate to industry-standard classifications but with enhanced consistency and reliability, it enables tool designers and manufacturers to select the optimal balance of wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability for their specific application. Whether for high-volume blanking dies requiring extreme wear resistance (TENASTEEL® D) or complex forming tools needing a balance of strength and resilience (TENASTEEL® A), the TENASTEEL® range delivers predictable performance, extended tool life, and reduced total operating costs in demanding production environments. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: Industeel TENASTEEL® Cold Work Tool Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <7046 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: Industeel TENASTEEL® Cold Work Tool Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
