Die Materials Specification Task Group
Possible NADCA Sponsored Projects:
• Impact toughness & thermal fatigue resistance of the
new grades listed in #207-2006
Project 161: Thermal Fatigue Resistance of High Performance Die Steels
Project Description: The objective is to provide the Die Materials Specifications and
Heat Treating Task Force with detailed thermal fatigue and Charpy V-notch behavior
of the advanced die steels that are included in NADCA 207-2006. Whereas data was
provided by the suppliers of the steels, more testing of these steels is needed to
strengthen the Specification and promote implementation by the die casting industry.
• 8 thermal fatigue samples and 80 CVN samples will be machined from select steels
(two TF and ten Charpy samples per steel type) and quenched according to the
specification. The as-quenched and the tempered microstructures will be determined.
The thermal fatigue resistance of the eight specimens and the Charpy V-notch impact
strength will be evaluated.

Die Materials Specification Task Group
Possible NADCA Sponsored Projects:
L. Impact Toughness
• A coupon approximately 2½” x 4½” x ½” thick shall be prepared from a
sample preferably from the same Grade/block of Special Quality die steel
of known “annealed capability” impact toughness such that the 2½”
dimension represents the thickness direction, the 4½” dimension represents
width direction, and the ½” dimension represents the length direction of
the parent material.
• The coupon shall be attached to each workpiece away from edges and
corners such that a 2½” x 4½” face of the coupon is in intimate contact
with the workpiece. If tack welds are used, the welds should be placed
along the 4½” dimension.
• The coupon shall accompany the workpiece through the preheating,
austenitizing, quenching, and first temper of the hardening procedure.
• Test coupon must be tempered to 44/46 HRC.
NOTE: If a final hardness other than 44/46 HRC has been specified, the
coupon may be removed from the die after the first temper and then
separately tempered to 44/46 HRC.
