- Heat to 650÷700°C, hold for 4÷6 hours;

- Furnace cooling to 300÷350°C;

- Cooling in air.

Hardening:

- Initial preheating to 350÷450°C;

- Second preheating to 750÷850°C;

- Heat to hardening temperature in the range 1000÷1050°Cand hold at temperature;

Quenched hardness: 52÷56 HRC

Tempering:

In the range 550÷630°Cfor at least 3 hours according to hardness requirements and conditions of use.

Tempering must be repeated a second time at a temperature to or 20°Clower than the previous.

Before tempering, preheat the parts to 200÷300°C.
