EN 1.0540 Heat Treatments

  • Austenitizing (quenching in water or oil): 810-850°C, t > 30 min. NOTE: The temperatures at the lower end of the range are generally applicable to hardening in water and those at the upper end for hardening in oil. Synthetic quenchants may also be used. Tempering: 550-660°C, t > 60 min. Normalizing: 830-870°C, t > 30 min.
  • Quenching: 810-850°C, quenching in oil or water (as alternative to oil, a polymer solution may be used); Tempering: 550-660°C; Normalizing: 830-870°C.
