What is ISO 10679 - Cast tool steels about?
ISO 10679 is an international standard on cast tool steels that discusses the criteria for casting high-quality cast tool steels. ISO 10679 specifies tool steel compositions for castings.
Materials delivered in accordance with ISO 10679 shall conform to the applicable requirements of ISO 4990, including the supplementary requirements that are indicated on the inquiry and purchase order. Welding may be carried out only when approved by the purchaser.
NOTE: Annex A gives information on ISO grade designation and available UNS numbers which are similar to the ISO grade designation.
Who is ISO 10679 - Cast tool steels for?
ISO 10679 on cast tool steels is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of cast tool steels
Why should you use ISO 10679 - Cast tool steels?
Tool steels consist of carbon and alloy steels typically used for investment casting tools. These alloys are known for their high hardness, wear resistance, and abrasion resistance but do not provide corrosion resistance.
ISO 10679 navigates you through the chemical composition, heat treatment, uns cast grades similar to iso cast grades.
ISO 10679 exemplifies the required chemical composition, mass fraction in % that help you achieve precision in terms of the product specification.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 10679, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality cast tool steels. ISO 10679 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production of cast tool steels.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 10679:2019 supersedes BS ISO 10679:2010, which is withdrawn.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
- Grade numbers have been added to Tables 1 and 2 and Annex A
- When available, UNS numbers have been added to Annex A
