Heat Treatment
Hardening: 1170 to 1210°C (2140 to 2210°F) Oil, air, salt bath (500 - 550°C (930 - 1020°F), gas. Upper temperature range for parts of simple shape, lower for parts of complex shape. For coldworking tools also lower temperatures are of inportance for higher toughness.
Tempering: Slow heating to tempering temperature immediately after hardening/time in furnace: 1 hour for every 20 mm of workpiece thickness, but not less than 2 hours/ air cooling (minimum holding time: 1 hour). 1st tempering and 2nd tempering to desired working hardness. Average obtainable hardness values are shown in the tempering chart. 3rd tempering for stress relieving, 30 - 50°C (86-122°F) below highest tempering temperature.
