In the present study, the effect of the percentage of carbides MC and
is analyzed on the hardness of HSS steel used
to manufacture lamination rolls; heat treatment was given to one piece
of the material, with high Cr, Mo and V contents. This was
subsequently cut and prepared, according to ASTM the standards to
measure microhardness from the carbides, the percentages of each one
of them and the macrohardness of the material. Applying different
techniques of characterization the evolution of the hardness in the
microstructure became evidenced; what we found was that the highest
hardnesses is obtained when the amount of carbides is approximately 
of the amount of MC carbides (ratio of about
MC per 
It is also possible to verify that there is a
hardness drop of 
of the surface with respect to the center, this
is due to a 
reduction in the 
and 
which means that there is a hardness drop of
approximately with respect to the reduction of
carbides in 
carbides, high speed steel (HSS), hardness, lamination, rolls.
