Heat Treatment
Hardening: 1830-1900° F/to minimize distortion, air cool. For maximum hardness diameters greater than 6” should be quenched in oil. Soak time is 30 minutes per inch of thickness. Minimum of 1 hour. Allow to cool to 125-150° F before tempering.
Tempering: Complete equalization of temperature throughout the tools is essential for good results. Double temper. Recommended temperature is 1000-1200° F.
