PROPRIETARY CarTech 420F Stainless Heat Treatments
- Annealing:
For maximum softness, heat uniformly to 1550/1650°F (843/899°C) and cool slowly in furnace. Brinell hardness approximately 179. Intermediate or process annealing treatment heat uniformly to 1350/1450°F (732/788°C) and furnace cool or cool in air. Brinell hardness approximately 196.
Hardening:
Heat to 1850/1950°F (1010/1066°C) soak at heat and quench in warm oil.
Tempering:
To retain maximum hardness and corrosion resistance, temper at 300/400°F (149/204°C) and cool in air. Rockwell C hardness approximately 52.
Hot Working:
Preheat to 1400/1500°F (760/816°C), then heat uniformly to 2000/2200°F (1093/1204°C); forge; then cool forgings in a furnace heated to 1550°F (843°C) if possible. If not, warm dry lime or ashes can be used. If air cooled, cracking may occur. Anneal after forging; cool to room temperature before annealing. Do not forge below 1650°F (899°C) reheat if necessary.
Cold Working:
Material will withstand moderate cold work in the annealed condition, but it is not recommended for cold upsetting. The primary application for this steel has been in parts that are machined to shape.
