Product Description
BÖHLER W302 ISODISC is a 5% chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2344 (X40CrMoV5-1). This common tool steel has
good hot toughness as well as a high hot hardness and a high resistance against heat-checkings. The combination of these properties
makes it a standard choice in extrusion, forging and low-pressure die casting. This material is also available as W302 ISOBLOC which is a
remelted grade with improved cleanliness, homogeneity and toughness.

Annealing
Temperature 750 to 800 °C | Holding time 6 to 8 hours. Slow, controlled furnace cooling at 10 to 20°C/h (50 to 68 °F/hr) to
1,382 to 1,472 °F approx. 600°C (1112°F), further cooling in air.
Stress relieving
Temperature 600 to 670 °C | For stress relief after extensive machining or for complicated tools. Holding time depending on
1,112 to 1,238 °F tool size after complete heating 2 - 6 hours in neutral atmosphere. Slow furnace cooling.
