Re: Stavax Cracking

The reason for your cracking problem could be due to several factors. Important mentioning are:
Surface finish of the cooling holes. Rough drilled cooling holes could cause cracks.
Are you double tempering the material after hardening and are you doing the tempering immediately after hardening?

We use Stavax on a daily basis and very rarely do we have any problems with cracks.
