This work aims at the comparative study of the recrystallization of two high-speed steels, namely AISI M2 (Werkstoffnummer 1.3343) and ABC III (Werkstoffnummer 1.3333), hardened by cold rolling of sheets employed in the production of band saws. Studying static recrystallization in this class of steels is relevant, since frequently they are cold rolled and annealed in their final processing stage, prior to the actual work piece manufacturing. Initially, samples have been characterized in the “as-received” condition, i.e. hot rolled. Characterization involved chemical analysis, tensile testing, optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy, hardness measurements and dilatometry. Following, samples have been cold worked with a 50% thickness reduction in order to evaluate the cold work hardening curves. Samples with 25% reduction have been annealed at temperatures in the 100C to 750C range, for one hour and hardness results have been used to determine the isochronous softening curves. Samples with 25% reduction have been annealed between 600 C and 750C for 15 to 480 minutes, for each one of the temperatures, to determine the isothermal softening curves. The microstructural analysis has shown that the AISI M2 steel presents a homogeneous carbide distribution. These carbides were fine when compared to those of the ABCIII steel that presented a heterogeneous distribution. Both steels presented similar work-hardening curves. After annealing the cold worked samples, it has been observed that the AISI M2 steel presented a slightly faster recovery and recrystallization than the ABCIII steel. Still in the recovery stage, prior to recrystallization, both steels showed a small hardness increase, mainly on annealing during 30 to 60 minutes in the 650C to 700C temperature range. Using electron backscattered diffraction analysis (microtexture and mesotexture) it has been observed that the ABCIII steel presented higher resistance to complete recrystallization than the AISI M2 steel.
