Hardness Selection (Full Part Hardening)

How to set up Full Part Hardening

STEP1​​

Click “Full Part Hardening” button in the Basic Information section.

STEP2

When a hardening type is specified in the Full part Hardening dialog box, the standard hardness range is displayed in the “Hardness specification (HRC)” fields.

If you want to specify a hardness other than the standard hardness, enter a lower limit and upper limit in the “Hardness (HRC)” input box.

Finally, click the “Update” button.

Possible hardness settings by material

MaterialStandard hardnessHardness range that can be automatically estimated (HRC)
D2 tool Steel​HRC58~63HRC50~63
4140 Alloy SteelHRC50~55HRC30~55
1049 Carbon SteelHRC35~45HRC30~50
1045 Carbon SteelHRC30~40HRC30~45
DC53 Tool SteelHRC58~63HRC50~63
SK105 Tool SteelHRC58~63HRC58~63
O1 Tool SteelHRC58~63HRC58~63
  • When specifying a hardness range, there must be 5 (HRC) or more between minimum and maximum values. Example: HRC40~45
  • When specifying a minimum hardness, only the lowest value for the desired hardness (HRC) must be entered.
  • When specifying a minimum hardness, the value entered can be up to 5 HRC less than the maximum allowable hardness value. Example: For D2 tool steel, HRC58~
  • *Hardness (HRC) is guaranteed to be above the minimum specified hardness value.

Tip

The minimum hardness specification is selected by entering only the minimum value for the desired hardness (HRC).
