Research on annealing process of DC53 steel continuous rolling bars
In order to meet the special requirement of processing hardness for DC53 material(hardness≤220 HB),different annealing processes were tested on DC53 hot-rolled cold work die steel.The results indicate that the annealing hardness of DC53 is closely related to the process of spheroidization annealing.The optimal annealing process is the heat-ing temperature of 850℃and the isothermal temperature of 750℃for spheroidization annealing.After applying the op-timal annealing process in production,the hardness of the steel is uniform,with an average hardness of around HB210,and the metallographic structure is qualified,meeting the user's standard requirements.
