DIN 1652-4: 1990 / Bright steel made from steel for quenching and tempering; technical delivery conditions

Heat Treatments

  • <b> Hardening: </b> 820-860°C (Temperatures at the lower end of the range are generally used for water, and those at the upper end for oil quenching. Time for austenitizing as a guide: at least 30 min.); <br> <b>Quenching agent: </b> Water or oil (Other quenching agents such as synthetic quenchants may also be used.); <br> <b>Tempering: </b> 550-660°C (Time for tempering as a guide: at least 1h.); <br> <b>Normalizing:</b> 840-880°C.
  • Annealing: 650-700°C; Normalizing: 840-870°C; Hardening in water: 820-850°C; Hardening in oil: 830-860°C; Tempering: 540-680°C
