SAE Ferrium S53 Heat Treatments

  • 1) Normalized by heating to 1079 ± 14°C (1975 ± 25°F), holding at the selected temperature for a time commensurate with section thickness, 60 minutes minimum, cooling in air to room temperature, cooling to -73°C (-100°F) or lower, holding at temperature for a minimum of 60 minutes, and air warming to room temperature, and annealed by heating to 679 ± 14°C (1255 ± 25°F), holding at temperature for 8 hours +2 hours, -0.5 hour, and cooling in air to room temperature.

    2) Normalized by heating to 1079°C ± 14°C (1975°F ± 25°F) and holding at the selected temperature for a time commensurate with section thickness for a minimum of 60 minutes, cooling to 10°C (50°F) or lower and holding for a minimum of 4 hours. Annealed by heating to 679°C ± 14°C (1255°F ± 25°F) and holding at temperature for 8 hours (+2 hours, -0.5 hour), cooling in air to room temperature, cooling to 10°C (50°F) or lower and holding for a minimum of 4 hours, re-annealed by heating to 679°C ± 14°C (1255°F ± 25°F) and holding at temperature for 8 hours (+2 hours, -0.5 hour), cooling in air to room temperature.
  • Final heat treatment condition:
    Aged: Solution heat treating at 1085°C (1985°F); Air, Oil, Polymer, PPGQ; Within 8 hours of quenching, cooling to -68°C (-90°F), or colder for 1 hour per 25.4 mm of thickness or fraction thereof, and warm to ambient; Aging: 501°C (934°F) for 180 ± 30 minutes, followed by quenching in oil, polymer, or PPGQ within 30 minutes to below 49°C (120°F). Within 8 hours subzero cool at -73°C (-100°F) or lower for 1 hour minimum and then let warm in air to a minimum of 24°C (75°F). Re-age at 482°C (900°F) for 12 hours (-1, +2 hours) and air cool.
    All parts shall be in the normalized or normalized and annealed condition prior to solution annealing.

    Air refers to ambient air. When vacuum furnaces are used for heat treating, cooling in the backfilling gas is acceptable where cooling in still air or air cool is specified.
    If hardness exceeds the maximum specified, parts may be re-aged at the same or higher temperatures for a time not to exceed given values to obtain the required hardness.
    To produce a lower hardness for pretested material, a set temperature up to 6°C (10°F) higher than specified may be used.
    Soaking time for solution heat treatment is depending on thickness of the products.
    Tolerance for soaking time shall be +10, -0 minutes for 30 minute ages; +15, -0 minutes for 1 hour ages; +30 minutes, -0 minutes for longer ages.
    For sub-zero treatments, interruptions of the soaking period are permitted. The total soak time shall not include any time when the temperature is greater than -68°C (-90°F) due to interruptions.

    Normalizing at 1080°C (1976°F); Cooling to ambient temperature after normalizing and cooling to -68°C (-90°F) or colder and for 1 hour minimum per 25.4 mm of thickness or fraction thereof; Soaking (soaking time is depending on thickness of the products); Air or gas cooling in a vacuum furnace, or atmosphere cooling to ambient;
    Annealing at 680°C (1256°F); Soaking minimum 8 hours; Air or gas cooling in a vacuum furnace, or atmosphere cooling to ambient.
    Annealing is performed to facilitate machining.
