01 COLD WORK STEEL |
|
|
Annealing:
Heat to 760º - 780ºC and hold for sufficient time to ensure uniformity then allow to cool slowly. This should result in a hardness of 229HB max. |
|
|
Hardening:
Pre-heat 650º - 700ºC oil quench from 800º - 820ºC. Do not soak. |
|
|
Tempering:
Temper as soon as possible after hardening to suit requirements. Refer to tempering curve for typical hardness. |
