CPM Magnacut - Technical Data: Your in Specialty Metals

CPM Magnacut is a powder metallurgy stainless tool steel designed to eliminate chromium carbide and improve toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is well-suited for applications like cutlery, dies, and processing equipment. The steel contains 1.15% carbon and has a unique microstructure of small vanadium and niobium carbides when heat treated. Heat treatment includes forging above 1750°F, annealing, stress relieving, hardening from 1950-2200°F followed by air quenching, and double tempering from 300-450°F.

CPM Magnacut – Technical Data


General Descriptions:
CPM Magnacut is a unique powder metallurgy stainless tool steel with a design which eliminates chromium
carbide in the heat treated microstructure. An excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance is
achieved by having only small, high hardness, vanadium and niobium carbides.
Being free from chromium carbide also provides improved corrosion resistance.

Example of applications:
Long-wearing specialty cutlery, plastic injection and extrusion feed screws and dies, pelletizing equipment,
wear components for food and chemical processing.

CPM Magnacut– Technical Data


Heat Treatment
Forging
2100 oF
Do not forge below 1750 oF.

Annealing
Heat to 1650 oF, hold two hours, slow cool(25 oF/hour max) to 1100 oF, then furnace cool or cool in still air
to room temperature.
Typical annealed hardness is 235 BHN.

Stress Relieving
Annealed Material: Heat to 1100-1300 oF, hold two hours, then furnace cool or cool in still air.
Hardened Material: Heat to 25-50 oF below original tempering temperature, hold two hours, then
furnace cool or cool in still air.

Hardening
Preheat: 1550-1600 oF, equalize.

High Heat (Austenitizing)


1950-2200 oF, hold time at temperature as shown in chart above. Thick cross-sections and larger pieces
may need longer austenitizing time.

Quench
Plate quench, air or positive pressure quench (2 bar minimum) to below 125 oF.

Tempering
Double temper at 300-450 oF. Hold for two hours minimum per temper and cool to room temperature
between tempers.

Note: Tempering above 750 oF results in a decrease in corrosion resistance.

Physical Properties
Modulus of Elasticity 31 psi x 106 (215 GPa) Density 0.280 lb/in3

Annealed Hardness 235 BHN Machinability 70% of O1
