PROPRIETARY No. 883 Tool Steel Heat Treatments
- Annealing: heat uniformly to 843/871°C (1550/1600°F), then cool very slowly in the furnace at a rate of not more than 16.7°C (30°F) per hour until the furnace is black.
Hardening: for air treating, heat the furnace to 1010/1024°C (1850/1875°F), then place the tool right in the hot furnace near the thermocouple. Let the tool heat naturally until it uniformly matches the color of the thermocouple. Soak 20 minutes plus an additional 5 minutes per 25.4 mm of thickness, then air cool. For oil treating, follow the same procedure, but drop the temperature to 996/1010°C (1825/1850°F).
Stress Relieving: first rough machine, then heat to a temperature of 649/677°C (1200/1250°F), hold for 1 hour at temperature, then slowly cool.
Tempering: full hardness is maintained up to a tempering temperature of 538°C (1000°F). For greater toughness, temper at a higher temperature.
