Hot Forming
Forging: 1050 to 850℃, slowing cooling in furnace.
Heat Treatment of Steel 1.2363
Annealing: 820 to 850℃, slow cooling in furnace (10-20℃/hr), down to approx. 600℃, cooling in air. Hardness after annealing: max. 240HB.
Stress relieving: approx. 650℃, holding time 1 to 2 h, slow cooling in furnace.
Hardening: 950 to 1000℃, blast; larger section also in oil or hot bath at approx. 350℃ to 450℃. Hardness obtainable, 63 to 64 HRC.
Tempering: Slowly heating to tempering temperature right after hardening. Recommended to temper 2 or 3 times to increase toughness.
