    Forging

    Heat to 1300 oC maximum, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section and commence forging.Do not forge
    below 950 oC
    Finished forgings may be air cooled.
    Heat Treatment
    Annealing
    Heat to 890 oC - 920 oC hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, and cool in furnace.
    Carburizing
    Pack, salt or gas carburise at 900 oC holding for sufficient time to develop the required case depth and carbon content,
    followed by a suitable refining/hardening and tempering cycle to optimise case and core properties.
    Core Refine
    Slow cool from carburising temperature and re-heat to 880 oC - 900 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the
    section and quench as required in oil, water.
    Case Hardening
    Following core refining, re-heat to 760 oC - 790 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section and quench in
    water.Temper immediately while still hand warm.
    Tempering - After Carburising, Core Refining and Case Hardening
    Re-heat to 120 oC - 230 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm of section
    and cool in still air.NB. Tempering will improve the toughness of the case with only slight reduction in case hardness. It will
    also reduce it's susceptibility to grinding cracks.
    Normalizing
    Heat to 900 oC - 940 oC hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 10 - 15 minutes.Cool in still air.
    Stress Relieving
    Heat to 500 oC - 700 oC hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section, and
    cool in still air.
    Notes on Heat Treatment
    Heating temperatures, rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as work piece size/shape,
    also furnace type employed, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities etc.Please consult your heat treater for
    best results.
