In this investigation, the effects of different heat treatment conditions on the mechanical properties of high carbon tool steel (SK2) were explored. Experimental results indicated that immediately doing deep cryogenic treatment can effectively reduce retained austenite after quenching. The moment of the holding time for the cryogenic treatment was extended can promote the fine carbides precipitated, and thus increased its hardness. The results of X-ray diffraction showed that the carbides in the matrix included Fe3C and Fe7C3.The wear test results demonstrated that the specimen with Q-T1hr-C24hr-T1hr treatment has the highest wear resistance than the others, which was caused by the effect of several tempering processes to improve toughness of the matrix and to precipitate considerable quantities of the fine carbides.

Studies of dilatometry, DSC, hardness and XRD have shown that a low temperature cryogenic treatment immediately after supersaturation affects changes of structure and properties taking place during ageing after supersaturation. The third peak visible on DSC diagrams for samples conventially treated disappears on DSC diagrams for deep cryogenically treated samples, and the intensity of the two first peaks on DSC diagrams of deep cryogenically treated samples is a few times lower than on diagrams for conventionally treated samples. The dissolution process for precipitation of Al2Cu in conventionally treated samples progresses faster. Hardness of samples aged after a deep cryogenic treatment within the range of 175-220 oC for more than 60 minutes was higher than of those conventionally treated; at higher ageing temperatures (275-350 °C) the differences in hardness were smaller.
