PROPRIETARY Ferrium M54 Heat Treatments
- Normalizing: 1074°C (1965°F) for 1 hour and air cool.
Annealing: Can be softened by subcritical annealing by heating to 799°C (1470°F) ± 14°C (25°F), holding for 60 minutes, + 60 minutes, and then air cool to room temperature, followed by annealing by heating to 652°C (1205°F) ± 28°C (50°F) for no less than 8 hours, and then air cool to room temperature.
Solution Treatment: 1060°C (1940°F) 1 hour and oil quench or equivalent.
Quenching: Gas, Oil, or Equivalent.
Cold Treatment: Following 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. This metal fully mechanical strength after tempering, and thus trying to straighten parts after tempering will be more difficult. If excessive distortion exists after the solution treatment, quench and sub-zero treatment, then it is recommended to heat the part to 200°C (392°F) in air for 1 hour, hot-straighten the part (temperature determined by amount of force required to straighten part; temperature should be maintained below 371°C (700°F) to avoid any tempering or decarburization; a small oxide layer may form at this temperature), and allow the component to air cool. The full temper cycle must then be applied.
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. 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 516°C (960°F) for 8 to 12 hours and air cool.
