Heat TreatmentAnnealing
800 to 850°C
Slow con trolled cooling in furnace at a rate of 10 to 20°C/hr down to approx. 600°C, further cooling in air.

Rilascio delle tensioni
650 to 700°C
Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or incomplex shapes.
After through heating, hold in neutral atmosphere for 1 to 2 hours.

Indurimento
950 to 980°C
Oil, salt bath (220 to 250°C or 500 to 550°C), air plast, still air. Holding time after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes.
Special treatment: Hardening 1020°C and tempering at 500°C.

Temperatura
Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening/time in furnace 1 hour for each 20 mm of workpiece thickness but at least 2 hours/cooling in air. For certain cases we recommend to reduce tempering temperature and increase holding time.
