Heat treatment
Isothermal annealing:
- Heat to 800°Cand hold at temperature for 1/2 h to 1 h;
- Furnace cooling to 670°Cand hold at temperature for at least 10 hours;
- Cool by 10°C/h to 630°C;
- Cooling in air.
Maximum hardness:≤240 HB
Stress relieving:
To be carried out after maching before the final heat treatment.
- Heat to 600-650°C, hold for 4-6 hours;
- Cooling in furnace to 300-350°C;
- Cooling in air
Hardening:
- Initial preheating to 350-450°C;
- Second preheating to 650-750°C;
- Heat to hardening temperature 860-890°Cand hold at temperature;
- Cooling in hot oil (40-60°C); oil quenched hardness: 54-59HRC;
Tempering:
Tempering must be carried out within one hour from hardening(warm part) in the range 550-630°Cfor 4-6 hours according to hardness required, the dimensions of the parts and operating conditions.
