Heat Treatment Process
Hardening: Heat the steel evenly to 930-950°C until the whole section reaches temperature. Then quench in oil to cool.
Annealing: Heat the steel to 870-900°C, hold it well at temperature, and then let it cool slowly inside the furnace.
Tempering: Heat the steel uniformly, hold it at the selected tempering temperature, and then allow it to cool in still air. tempering temperature 200~540°C, hardness 61~54HRC
Application Fields
Sheet metal cutting tools for thickness ≤2 mm, blades, stone pressing dies, section mill rolls, deep drawing tools.
