Heat treat
- Preheat
- 1,500-1,550°F. Equalize temperature.
- Austenitize
- Heat rapidly from preheat. For optimum wear resistance, soak for 5-15 minutes at 2,150°F. For balance of wear resistance and toughness, soak for 15-30 minute at 2,050°F. For maximum toughness and minimum distortion in cooling, soak for 30-60 minutes at 1,975°F. Quench in pressurized gas, or warm oil then cool in still air to 125°F.
- Temper
- Temper immediately after quenching. Typical temperature range is 1,000-1,100°F. Do not temper below 1,000°F. Hold at temperature for two hours then air cool to ambient temperature. Double tempering is required. Triple tempering is required when austenitized at 2,100°F or higher.
Steel certs
- Look up the chemical composition cert for your bar with the three red letters stamped on it.
