Heat Treatment Process

Hardening: Heat the steel evenly to 820~870°C until the whole section reaches temperature. Then quench in oil.
Annealing: Heat the steel to 760~790°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 150~260°C, hardness approx. 64~58HRC
