Processing instructions
Hot forming
HOVADUR® CCZ is very well suitable for hot forming at temperatures of about 950–700 °C. After forming, quick cooling in water is recommended.
Advice: After a hot forming executed by the customer, the properties of HOVADUR® CCZ bars will normally no longer be achieved.
Cold forming
HOVADUR® CCZ in hardened condition is suitable for cold forming only to a limited extent. Round bars can be cold bended without problems. Other types of bars are not intended for cold forming.
In case, a more important cold forming has to be executed, HOVADUR® CCZ in solution heat treated condition has to be used. After forming, as a rule, the part has to be heat treated.
Heat treatment
A heat treatment changes the agreed properties. If a heat treatment is executed after supply of the material, we cannot guarantee any properties.
Advice for heat treatments (they always depend to a large degree on the kind and the function of the furnace)
Solution heat treatment: 950–990 °C, about 30 minutes followed by quenching in water
Hardening: 450–500 °C, 2–5 h followed by cooling at the air
Machining
HOVADUR® CCZ is very suitable for machining. We recommend hard metal cutting tools with positive cutting geometry.
For drilling, attention must be paid to good removal of chips. Cooling with emulsion is recommended. In case of dry machining, this has to be done with strong suction. Outgoing air has to be cleaned by a particle filter.
Thread moulding is possible to a limited extent. Bigger inside threads should be executed by circular thread milling.
Joining
HOVADUR® CCZ is suitable for soft as well as hard soldering. Concerning hard soldering (even at limited time of effect of the temperature), a loss in hardness in the area of heating is to be expected. A very low melting silver brazing should be used and the brazing process itself should be as short as possible. HOVADUR® CCZ is suited for welding. Attention must be paid to sufficient extraction and filtering of welding fume.
Application examples
Electrodes, holders, shafts for spot and seam welding of mainly plain steel. Clamping jaws, inserts for butt welding. Live parts for electrical engineering.
