Soft Annealing
Heat to 680-720oC, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 241.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 820-850, 830-860oC followed by water or oil quenching.
Normalizing
Normalizing: 840-880oC
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 540-680oC

Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050-850oC.
Machinability
Machinability of this alloy is good in the annealed condition. In the heat treated and quenched condition machining is best limited to finish grinding.
Corrosion Resistance
This alloy is a steel and is not corrosion resistant. Protective coating must be used in corrosive, or water, environments.
