Heat Treatment

ANNEALING: heat to750-800°C, with hold at minimum rate for 3 hours;Furnace cooling.Stress relieving: To be carried out after machining and before the final heat treatment,-Heating to600-650°C , for 2 hours ;Hardening ;-preheating to 600-700°C;-Austenitizing at 990-1040°C;-Cooling in fluid oil, thermal bath at 500-550°C and finally in oil,considering the steel shape and size.Quenched hardness52-56HRCTempering:To be carried out after the hardening according to the required hardness; at 170-270°C in order to match hardness and resistance to corrosion; permanence for at least 2 hours;Tempering must be repeatedat least twice at a temperature 30°C lower than the previous. Cooling in air.
