Heat Treatment
Annealing
800 to 850°C
Slow controlled cooling in furnace at a rate of 10 to 20°C/hr down to approx. 600°C, further cooling in air. Hardness after annealing: max. 250 HB.
Stress relieving
650 to 700°C
Slow cooling in furnace; intended to relieve stresses set up by extensive machining, or in complex shapes. After through heating, hold in neutral atmosphere for 1-2 hours.
Hardening
980 to 1010°C
Oil, salt bath (220 to 250°C or 500 to 550°C), air blast, still air. Tools of intricate shape or with sharp edges should preferably be hardened in air or salt bath. Holding time after temperature equalization: 15 to 30 minutes.
Obtainable hardness: 63 – 65 HRC
Tempering
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
