Cold forming and hot forming are major applications of tool steels, for example in the scope of sheet forming and forging. Usually, development and selection of these steels consider technical aspects like tensile and compression strength or wear- and corrosion resistance, while physical properties like thermal and electrical conductivity are little-noticed. In the previous funding period, the influence of chemical composition and heat treatment condition on the conductivity of selected tool steels was analysed. The obtained results lead to the conclusion, that the solution state created with a heat treatment has a high impact on the thermal conductivity of tool steels, especially through the formation and solution of carbides. In the next step, the relation between carbide formation and conductivity has been investigated. Accordingly, the formation and coarsening of carbides, especially chrome-rich carbides, cause a considerably increased conductivity, decreasing the content of conductivity reducing alloying elements solved in the matrix. Additionally, basic principles of conduction in a copper infiltrated tool steel were investigated. These materials are capable of combining a high conductivity with good compression strength. During infiltration, the copper is impurified by iron, strongly reducing its conductivity. A well-directed heat treatment was found to be capable to reverse this effect to some extent.In the submitted research project, the gained findings are to be transferred to the technical application of press hardening. To accomplish this, instrumented hot forming experiments with in-tool quenching shall take place. The used tools will have a conductivity tuned by heat treatment, enabling the correlation of tool conductivity with the produced parts mechanical properties. Especially, partial heat treatment of tools and functional infiltrated layers added to the tools are to be investigated. Due to the locally adjusted heat conductivity of the tools, the produced parts can obtain graded mechanical properties.Though, deeper investigation of factors influencing conductivity of tool steels is needed. This includes the conductivity of temper carbides as well as the influence of short-time heat treatment on the conductivity of tool steels. Regarding the copper infiltrated steels, the kinetic of formation and coarsening of iron precipitates in the copper and the increase of the strength are focused.

冷成型和热成型是工具钢的主要应用，例如在板材成型和锻造领域。通常，这些钢的开发和选择会考虑拉伸和压缩强度或耐磨性和耐腐蚀性等技术方面，而导热性和导电性等物理性能却很少被关注。在前期资助期间，分析了化学成分和热处理条件对所选工具钢电导率的影响。所得结果得出这样的结论：热处理产生的固溶状态对工具钢的导热性有很大影响，特别是通过碳化物的形成和固溶。在下一步中，研究了碳化物形成和电导率之间的关系。因此，碳化物、尤其是富铬碳化物的形成和粗化导致电导率显着增加，从而降低了基体中溶解的降低电导率的合金元素的含量。此外，还研究了渗铜工具钢的导电基本原理。这些材料能够将高导电性与良好的压缩强度结合起来。在渗透过程中，铜被铁污染，大大降低了其电导率。人们发现，良好的定向热处理能够在一定程度上扭转这种影响。在提交的研究项目中，所获得的发现将被转移到模压硬化的技术应用中。为了实现这一目标，应进行带有工具内淬火的仪器化热成型实验。所使用的工具将具有通过热处理调整的电导率，从而使工具的电导率与所生产的零件的机械性能相关联。特别是，对工具的部分热处理和工具中添加的功能渗透层进行了研究。由于工具的导热率进行了局部调整，所生产的零件可以获得分级的机械性能。不过，还需要对影响工具钢导热率的因素进行更深入的研究。这包括回火碳化物的电导率以及短时间热处理对工具钢电导率的影响。对于渗铜钢，重点关注铜中铁析出物的形成和粗化动力学以及强度的提高。
