Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010092067A1] The invention relates to an alloy for a tool steel, comprising the following alloy components in weight percent: 0.5% - 0.7% carbon, 1.80% - 2.50% chromium; 0.90 - 1.20% molybdenum; 3.50% - 5.50% nickel, and 0.60% - 1.50% vanadium. The correspondingly alloyed steel is outstandingly suited for heat treatments to influence the strength. By means of a carbon component of less than 0.7%, a partially martensitic metal microstructure that still has a high ductility can be provided by way of a hardening method. By means of case hardening, the carbon component can be greater than 0.7% in some areas on the outside of workpieces.
