Treatment by
Polishing:
technical polishing possible
is possible:
EDM, nitriding, etching and hard chroming
Heat treatment:
Soft annealing:
650 to 700 °C for about 4 to 5 hours; slow controlled cooling of 10 to 20 °C per hour to about 600 °C; further cooling in air, max. 248 HB
Hardening:
950 to 980 °C
15 to 30 minutes keeping curing temperature
quenching in water/oil
obtainable hardness: 56 HRC
Tempering:
Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening. Minimum time in furnace: 1 hour per 20 mm part thickness
