Uses:
Brick mold liners, sand slinger liners, dies, machine
ways, track packer pads, tile die.
Forging/Rolling:
Preheat to 1500° F
and soak thoroughly. Then raise to 2050°
F - 2125° F. Do not forge or roll below 1800° F, cool slowly from the forging or rolling temperature.
Do not normalize.
Annealing:
Heat slowly to 1600° F
- 1650° F, and hold for uniformity, furnace cool at
a rate of 20° F per hour to 1000°
F then air cool. Expect Brinell hardness 235 - 262.
Hardening:
Preheat to 1500° F
and soak until uniformly heated and either transfer or raise furnace
temperature to 1850° F - 1950° F,
and hold 1 hour per inch of greatest thickness. Cool in still
air.
Tempering:
Temper immediately after quenching, before part has
cooled to below 150° F. Parts should be held a minimum of
2 hours per inch of greatest thickness. Double tempering is recommended.
For maximum wear resistance temper at 300°
F. The above tempering table may be used as a guide.
However, since 1/2" dia. specimens were used for this test, it
may be found that heavier sections are several points lower.
