HEAT TREATMENT:
- Soft Annealing: Heat to 680-720oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 248.
- Nitriding:
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (gas, salt bath): 570-580°C
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (powder, plasma): 580°C
Surface hardness after nitriding: 800 HVHardening: Harden from a temperature of 850-880°C followed by oil quenching.
· Tempering:Tempering temperature: 570-680°C.Forging:Hot forming temperature: 1050-850°C.Mill′s test certificate:EN 10204/3.1 with all relevant data reg. chem. composition, mech. properties and results of testing.
