Soft Annealing
Heat to 800-840^oC, 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 600-650^oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.

Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 980-1020^oC followed by oil quenching or warm bath quenching. Hardness after quenching is 61-63 HRC.

Tempering
Tempering temperature: See the data bellow.
