Sawn blank
The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting.
Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material.
This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.
Frequently asked questions about material 1.7707:
They are nearly identical and directly interchangeable. Both are high-strength chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steels (CrMoV) with the same alloy base. The only minor difference is the carbon content: 1.7707 (30CrMoV9) has a nominal carbon content of 0.30%, while 1.8519 (31CrMoV9) is standardized at 0.31%. In practice, both steels offer excellent through-hardening properties, extremely high wear resistance and are perfectly suited for nitriding to achieve surface hardnesses of up to 800 HV.
For high-strength fasteners, camshafts and special screws that must withstand extreme tensile loads.
Through nitriding, as the chromium and vanadium contained in the steel form extremely hard special nitrides on the component surface.
