PROPRIETARY Ferrium S53 Heat Treatments
- Solution treatment: 1085 °C (1985 °F) 1 hour and oil quench or equivalent.
Quenching: Gas, oil, or equivalent.
Cold treatment: Following normalization and/or solution treatment, -73 °C (-100 °F) for 1 hour and air warm.
Straightening: Operations such as shaft straightening (if required) should preferably be done after the sub-zero treatment but prior to the temper. Ferrium S53 achieves full mechanical strength after tempering, and thus trying to straighten parts after tempering will be more difficult. For some parts, mechanical straightening may be desired to compensate for possible distortion during heat treatment. Prior to straightening, a low temperature stress relief at 200 °C (392 °F) for 1 hour following the first refrigeration operation should be conducted. Hot straightening should be conducted below 371 °C (700 °F) to avoid tempering, oxidation, or decarburization.
Stress relieving: If it is desired to stress-relieve a machined part in the mill-annealed condition as a means to help prevent distortion during further processing (e.g., if significant forces were imposed on the part during machining), then either of two options are recommended:
I. Produce the part in a rough-machined state with adequate stock material on all surfaces so that oxide scale can be removed, and then stress-relieve the part at ~649 °C (1200 °F) for 2 hours, followed by cooling in air. Then complete all final machining operations prior to solution treatment, quench, sub-zero treatment, and temper, in order to remove the oxide scale formed at 649 °C (1200 °F).
II. Produce the part in a fully or nearly fully machined state prior to solution treatment, sub-zero treatment quench and temper, and then stress-relieve the part at 371 °C (700 °F) for 2 hours or 274 °C (525 °F) for 4 hours, followed by cooling in air.
Tempering: Temper at 501 °C (934 °F) for 3 hours and oil quench or equivalent, followed by -73 °C (-100 °F) for 1 hour and air warm, then temper at 482 °C (900 °F) for 12 hours and air cool.
