Time-Temperature Transformation (TTT) Diagram
Soft Annealing
Heat to 810-860oC, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 265.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 650oC, 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 1000-1050oC followed by oil quenching. Hardness after quenching is 56 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: up to 150oC.
Tempering Temperature (oC) vs. Hardness (HRC)

Tempering Diagram
Forging
Pre-heat to 760oC, then bring slowly up to 1038-1204oC before proceeding. Do not work this material below 927oC. Cool material slowly after working and once at room temperature, anneal fully.
Machinability
Best machined in the annealed condition. Tough, stringy chips can be best handled by the use of chip breakers. Carbide or ceramic tooling is recommended.
Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to a wide variety of media including fresh water, steam, petroleum products and alcohol.
Welding
This alloy is not commonly welded due to its tendency to air harden. If it must be welded, preheat to 260oC and post weld treat at 732- 760oC for 6 hours followed by a slow furnace cooling to avoid cracking.
Cold working
This alloy is considered only slightly cold workable by common practices. Forms manufactured: Please see the Dimensional Sales Program.
