Abstract
A block is produced by juxtaposition and joining of at least one plate made of tool steel and of at least one plate made from mild steel. The block is hot rolled and then it is cooled to a temperature below 200.degree. C. The rolled block is tempered at a temperature above 450.degree. C. after cooling. The clad sheet obtained includes a layer made of tool steel having a tempered martensitic structure and containing primary carbides and a fine dispersion of secondary carbides.

A process for manufacturing a planar clad sheet having improved abrasion resistance an being substantially free of residual stresses, said planar clad sheet comprising a layer made of tool steel having a chemical composition comprising, by weight, more than 0.5% carbon and more than 3% chromium, and a layer made of low alloy steel having a chemical composition comprising, by weight, up to 0.25% carbon and a carbon equivalent up to 0.5%, the layer made of low alloy steel having a rolled structure and the layer made of tool steel having a rolled structure and comprising tempered martensite, coarse primary carbides and a fine dispersion of secondary carbides, said process comprising;
- producing a block by juxtaposing and joining at least one plate made of tool steel and at least one plate made of low alloy steel,
- hot rolling the block,
- cooling the block to a temperature below 200.degree. C.,
- tempering the block at a temperature above 450.degree. C., and
- cutting the block in order to obtain said planar clad sheet.
