Tempering XW41 Tool Steel
- Thread starter 123Cat
- Start date
Due to high alloy content, tool steels are generally very 'slow' reacting during thermal processing. Thus there is a relatively high proportion of retained austenite after hardening, and the double temper helps to convert this weak, soft constituent into hard, useful martensite.
