Soft Annealing
Heat to 720-750℃, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 270.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to approx. 650℃, holding for 1-2 hours at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 800-830℃ followed by water quenching. Hardness after quenching is 66 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 100-250℃.
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050-850℃.
