Heat Treatments

  • <b>Soft annealing</b>: Slowly heated at 680-720°C, held for several hours, slowly cooled, preferably in the furnace. <br />The soft annealing is most appropriate for machining and cold working and provides the most favorable initial structure for tool hardening.<br /><br /><b>Hardening</b>: Preheated at 500-600°C and then heated faster at 790-820°C, quenched in oil. <br />Temperature of oil should be approx. 50°C. When quenching in aqueous salt solutions, the temperature of the quenching agent may rise to 100°C. <br />Hardening immediately after forging without cooling and annealing is inappropriate because of the risk of cracking.<br /><br /><b>Stress relief annealing</b>: Slowly heated at 600-650°C, held for 1-2 hours, slowly cooled in the furnace.
  • Austenitized at 790 +/- 10°C and oil quenched.<br />Tempered at 180 +/- 10°C.
