PROPRIETARY BE2003 Heat Treatments

  • Annealing at 700 - 720°C (1290 - 1330°F).
    Stress relieving around 650°C (1200°F).
    Hardening: Austenitizing at 830 - 860°C (1525 - 1580°F), holding for 1.5 x material thickness and quenching in oil.
    Tempering: slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening, holding in furnace for minimum 2 h (recommended 4 - 6 h). Cooling in the furnace until the temperature have fallen below 100°C (210°F).
