General<br />
VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> is a chromium-molybdenumvanadium<br />
alloyed hot <strong>work</strong> <strong>tool</strong> <strong>steel</strong> which is<br />
characterized by:<br />
• High level of resistance to thermal shock and<br />
thermal fatigue<br />
• Good high-temperature strength<br />
• Excellent toughness and ductility in all<br />
directions<br />
• Uniform and high level of machinability<br />
• Excellent through-hardening properties<br />
• Good dimensional stability during hardening.<br />

IMPROVED TOOLING PERFORMANCE<br />
The name “<strong>SUPREME</strong>” implies that by special<br />
processing techniques and close process control,<br />
the <strong>steel</strong> attains high purity and a very fine structure.<br />
Further, VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> shows significant<br />
improvements in isotropic properties compared to<br />
conventionally produced material of the X38 CrMo<br />
V 51 (W.-Nr. 1.2343) type.<br />
These improved isotropic properties are particularly<br />
valuable for <strong>tool</strong>ing subjected to high mechanical<br />
and thermal stresses, e.g. die casting dies and<br />
forging <strong>tool</strong>s. In practical terms, <strong>tool</strong>s may be used<br />
at somewhat higher <strong>work</strong>ing hardnesses (2 HRC)<br />
without loss of toughness. Since increased service<br />
hardness limits the formation of heat checking<br />
cracks, improved <strong>tool</strong> performance can be expected.<br />

SOFT ANNEALING<br />
Protect the <strong>steel</strong> and heat through to 850°C<br />
(1562°F). Then cool in furnace at 10°C (20°F) per<br />
hour to 650°C (1202°F), then freely in air.<br />
STRESS RELIEVING<br />
After rough machining the <strong>tool</strong> should be heated<br />
through to 650°C (1202°F), holding time 2 hours.<br />
Cool slowly to 500°C (932°F), then freely in air.<br />
HARDENING<br />
Preheating temperature: 600–850°C (1112–1562°F)<br />
(normally two preheating steps).<br />
Austenitizing temperature: 990–1010°C (1814–<br />
1850°F), normally 990–1000°C (1814–1832°F).<br />
Soaking time: 30–45 minutes. Soaking time = time<br />
at austenitizing temperature after the <strong>tool</strong> is fully<br />
heated through.<br />
Protect the <strong>tool</strong> against decarburization and oxidation<br />
during austenitizing.<br />

Tempering temperature (2h + 2h)<br />
Tempering within the range 425–550°C (797–<br />
1022°F) is normally not recommended due to<br />
impaired toughness.<br />
DIMENSIONAL CHANGES DURING<br />
HARDENING AND TEMPERING<br />
During hardening and tempering the die is exposed<br />
to thermal as well as transformation<br />
stresses. This will inevitably result in dimensional<br />
changes and in the <strong>work</strong> case distortion. It is therefore<br />
recommended to always leave a machining<br />
allowance after machining before the die is hardened<br />
and tempered. Normally the size in the largest<br />
direction will shrink and the size in the smallest<br />
direction might increase but this is also a matter of<br />
the die size, the die design as well as the cooling<br />
rate after hardening.<br />
For VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> it is recommended to leave<br />
a machining allowance of 0,2 per cent of the dimension<br />
in length, width and thickness.<br />
NITRIDING AND NITROCARBURIZING<br />
Nitriding and nitrocarburizing result in a hard surface<br />
layer which is very resistant to wear and erosion.<br />
The nitrided layer is, however, brittle and my<br />
crack or spall when exposed to mechanical or thermal<br />
shock, the risk increasing with layer thickness.<br />
Before nitriding, the <strong>tool</strong> should be hardened<br />
and tempered at a temperature at least 50°C<br />
(120°F) above the nitriding temperature.<br />
Nitriding in ammonia gas at 510°C (950°F) or<br />
plasma nitriding in a 75% hydrogen/25% nitrogen<br />
at 480°C (896°F) both result in a surface hardness<br />
of 1100 HV0,2. In general, plasma nitriding is the<br />
preferred method because of better control over<br />
nitrogen potential; in particular, formation of the<br />
so-called “white layer”, which is not recommended<br />
of hot-<strong>work</strong> service, can readily be avoided. However,<br />
careful gas nitriding can give perfectly acceptable<br />
results.
VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> can also be nitrocarburized in<br />
either gas or salt bath. The surface hardness after<br />
nitrocarburizing is 900–1000 HV0,2.<br />

Nitriding to case depths >0,3 mm (0,012") is not<br />
recommended for hot-<strong>work</strong> applications. VIDAR<br />
<strong>SUPREME</strong> can also be nitrided in the soft annealed<br />
condition. The hardness and depth of case<br />
will, however, be reduced somewhat in this case.<br />

Hard-chromium<br />
plating<br />
After plating, parts should be tempered at 180°C<br />
(360°F) for 4 hours to avoid the risk of hydrogen<br />
embrittlement.<br />
Photo-etching<br />
VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> is particularly suitable for<br />
texturing by the photo-etching method. Its high<br />
level of homogeneity and low sulphur content<br />
ensures accurate and consistent pattern reproduction.<br />
Polishing<br />
VIDAR <strong>SUPREME</strong> exhibits good polishability in<br />
the hardened and tempered condition. Polishing<br />
after grinding can be effected using aluminium<br />
oxide or diamond paste.<br />
Typical procedure:<br />
1. Rough grinding to 180–320 grain size using a<br />
wheel or stone.<br />
2. Fine grinding with abrasive paper or powder<br />
down to 400–800 grain size.<br />
3. Polish with diamond paste grade 15 (15μm grain<br />
size) using a polishing <strong>tool</strong> of soft wood or fibre.<br />
4. Polish with diamond paste 3 (3μm grain size)<br />
using a polishing <strong>tool</strong> of soft wood or fibre.<br />
5. When demands on surface finish are high,<br />
grade 1 (1μm grain size) diamond paste can be<br />
used for final polishing with a fibre polishing<br />
pad.<br />
