PROPRIETARY RA6 Heat Treatments


  • Heat gradually to 875°C. Hold at 875°C then cool slowly in the furnace. Take usual precautions to avoid decarburization.
    Hardening: First preheat to 550°C; Second preheat to 850°C; Heat to 1150-1200°C; Air cool or gas pressure quench. For large parts, air cooling may be replaced by hardening in a salt bath at 550°C, followed by cooling in air to room temperature. It is recommended that heating should take place in a neutral atmosphere.
    Tempering: Between 550 and 600°C, depending on hardening temperature and hardness required. Double or triple temper required.
    After hardening at 1180°C and double tempering at 550°C material will have given HRC value.
