Heat Treatment
ANNEALING: heat to750-800°C, with hold at minimum rate for 3 hours;
Furnace cooling.
Stress relieving:
To be carried out after machining and before the final heat
treatment,
-Heating to600-650°C , for 2 hours ;
Hardening ;
-preheating to 600-700°C;
-Austenitizing at 990-1040°C;
-Cooling in fluid oil, thermal bath at 500-550°C and finally in
oil,considering the steel shape and size.
Quenched hardness52-56HRC
Tempering:
To be carried out after the hardening according to the required
hardness; at 170-270°C in order to match hardness and resistance to
corrosion; permanence for at least 2 hours;
Tempering must be repeatedat least twice at a temperature 30°C
lower than the previous. Cooling in air.
Certificate of Quality: issued in English, in addition the normal
terms, production process, the mechanical property yield strength,
tensile strength, elongation and hardness, forged ratio, UT test
result, Grain size, heat treatment methods and the sample of is
shown on the Certificate of Quality.
