Methods of thermo-mechanically processing tool steel and tools made from thermo-mechanically processed tool steels
Methods of thermo-mechanically processing a preform composed of tool steel and tools to modify a workpiece. The preform has a region containing austenite. The method comprises establishing the region at a process temperature between a martensitic start temperature and a stable austenitic temperature. While at the process temperature, the region is deformed to change an outer dimension and to modify the microstructure to a depth of 1 millimeter or more. The tool comprises a member composed of tool steel. The member includes a first region that extends from the outer surface to a depth of greater than 1 millimeter and a second region. The first region includes a plurality of grains having an average misorientation angle greater than about 34°, an average grain size that is at least 10% smaller than the second region, and has a different grain orientation than the second region.

BALL-LOCK RETAINERS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING BALL BOUNCE IN A BALL-LOCK RETAINER
Retainers for holding tools and methods for controlling the motion of a locking member, such as a resiliently-biased locking ball (80), in a retainer (14). The locking member (80) is disposed in a passage (74) that intersects another passage (58) configured to receive the tool (16). A portion of the locking member (80) has a contacting relationship with the tool (16) in order to hold the tool (16) within its passage (74). The retainer (14) further includes a constraint member, which may be a threaded member (92) or a non-threaded member (132), that occludes the passage (74) containing the locking member (80). During a stamping operation using the tool, the constraint member (92, 132) mechanically constrains motion of the locking member (80) within its passage (74) by contact with the locking member (80).
