Description
Alloyed tool steel.
Applications
Structural parts of medium and large cross sections and high surface hardness,
e.g., valve and gate valves, cylinders for combustion engines, superheated
steam valves and fittings.
Soft Annealing
Heat to 680-720oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell
hardness of 248.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 850-880oC followed by oil quenching.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 570-680oC.
Nitriding
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (gas, salt bath): 570-580oC
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (powder, plasma): 580oC
Surface hardness after nitriding: 800 HV
