Principal Design Features
|
|
This alloy is a general purpose, high speed, molybdenum type tool steel.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
M10 is employed in tooling applications requiring excellent wear and cutting capabilities including punches, cutters, taps, drills, broaches, planer tools, etc.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
The machinability rating of M10 is roughly 30% of 1018 carbon steel.

|
Heat Treatment
|
|
See hardening, annealing and tempering.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
Preheat slowly to 1550 F, then heat directly to 2000 F. Do not forge below 1800 F. Forgings must be slowly cooled in lime.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Material should be packed in cast iron chips/ borings prior to annealing. Heat to 1600 F and cool slowly to 1200 F at roughly 30 F per hour.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
For maximum wear resistance double and triple tempering offer the best results. Immediately following quenching, temper in the area of 1100 F.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Heat treat M10 in salt baths or controlled atmosphere furnace. Preheat to 1500 F and soak, then heat directly through 2200 F. Oil quench.
