Applications

For use on:

Physical Properties

Temperature	20°C
Density g/cm3	8.7

4-Point Bend Strength

Hardening temperature in °C

Tempering 2 x 1 hour at 560°C

Dimension of test piece Ø 4.7 mm

Rmb = Ultimate bend strength in kN/mm

Reb = Bend yield strength in kN/mm

Tot. work = Total work in Nm

Heat Treatment

Soft annealing in a protective atmosphere at 850-900°C for 3 hours, followed by slow cooling 10°C per hour down to 700°C, then air cooling.
Stress-relieving at 600°C to 700°C for approximately 2 hours, slow cooling down to 500°C.
Hardening in a protective atmosphere with pre-heating in 2 steps at 450-500°C and 850-900°C and austenitising at a temperature suitable for chosen working hardness.
Tempering at 560°C three times for at least 1 hour each time.

Surface Treatment

The steel grade is a perfect substrate material for PVD coating. If nitriding is requested, a small diffusion zone is recommended but avoid compound and oxidized layers.

Guidelines For Hardening

Tempering temperature in °C

Hardness after hardening, quenching and tempering 2 x 1 hour
