2714 steel is known for its excellent combination of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, suitable for applications requiring high impact resistance and durability.
Proper heat treatment is critical to achieving desired mechanical properties. Tempering should be carefully controlled to balance hardness and toughness based on specific application requirements.
Composition :
- Carbon (C): 0.45-0.55%
- Silicon (Si): 0.10-0.40%
- Manganese (Mn): 0.50-0.90%
- Chromium (Cr): 1.00-1.50%
- Molybdenum (Mo): 0.35-0.55%
- Vanadium (V): 0.10-0.25%
Mechanical Properties (After Heat Treatment):
- Hardness: 50-55 HRC (Rockwell C scale)
- Tensile Strength: 1000-1100 MPa
- Yield Strength: 800-900 MPa
- Elongation: 12-15% (in 50 mm)
Physical Properties:
- Density: 7.85 g/cm³ (0.284 lb/in³)
- Thermal Conductivity: 42 W/m·K (at 100°C)
- Specific Heat Capacity: 460 J/kg·K (at 20°C)
Heat Treatment:
- Annealing: Heat to 840-870°C (1544-1598°F), slow cool in furnace.
- Hardening: Preheat to 650-700°C (1202-1292°F), then heat to 950-1000°C (1742-1832°F), quench in oil or air.
- Tempering: Temper immediately after hardening. Typically, tempering temperature ranges from 150-600°C (302-1112°F) depending on the desired hardness and toughness.
