PROPRIETARY A2 Heat Treatments
- Annealing: Heat to 870°C (1600°F), hold 2 hours, then slow cool 30°C (50°F) per hour to 650°C (1200°F), then air cool or heat to 870°C (1600°F), hold 2 hours, cool to 760°C (1400°F), hold 6 hours, then air cool.
Stress Relieving
Annealed Parts: Heat to 650–675°C (1200–1250°F), hold 2 hours, then cool in still air. Hardened Parts: Heat to 15–25°C (25–50°F) below the original tempering temperature, hold 2 hours, then cool in still air.
HardeningPreheat: Heat to 595–675°C (1100–1250°F), equalize. Then raise to 730–790°C (1350–1450°F), and equalize.
Austenitize: Heat to 955–980°C (1750–1800°F), hold at temperature for 30–45 minutes.
Quench: Air or positive pressure quench (minimum 2 bar) to below 65°C (150°F).
Temper Temper at 205–540°C (400–1000°F). Hold for a minimum of 2 hours each time, or at least 1 hour per 25 mm of thickness. Double temper is recommended. Cool to room temperature between tempers.
Cryogenic Treating Refrigeration after the first temper may improve long-term dimensional stability by transforming retained austenite. Any refrigeration treatment must be followed by a temper.
