Soft Annealing
Heat to 800-850�C, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 250.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 650-700�C, 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 1020-1040�C followed by air quenching or warm bath quenching 500-550�C. Hardness after quenching is 63-65 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: See the diagram bellow.
