BE2519 tool steel
BE2519 tool steel
(OP)
good morning,
I have received some samples of Bestar BE2519 flat stock. The material is 1/16" x 1 1/2" and is being evaluated for use as a fine slicing blade. Composition is
C: 1.10
Si: 0.25
Mn: 0.3
Cr: 1.20
V: 0.20
W: 1.30
For heat treat I was thinking, heat to 800C, 5 minute soak, quench in warm(120F)12 second oil. Temper for 1 hour at 350F for final hardness of Rc63-65.
This is our first time using this material. Any and all comments and suggestions welcome.
Scott
