HEAT TREATMENT AND PROCESSES

Heat treatment

Process Details
Soft Annealing Heat to 780-820°C, cool slowly in furnace. Maximum Brinell hardness: 255.
Stress Relieving Heat to 600-650°C, hold for 1 hour, followed by air cooling. Reduces distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening Heat to 1170-1220°C, followed by oil or air quenching, or warm bath (550-220°C).
Tempering Temper at 520-550°C, at least twice for at least 62 HRC.
Applications
  • In the metal plating sector

  • In the metal plating sector

  • Long saw blades

  • Blades for wood machining are manufactured from this steel as a matter of preference
