Hardening
Preheating temperature: 600 – 850°C. Harden from a temperature of 1000 - 1050°C followed by oil, vacuum, pressure gas (N2), air or hot bath air 500 - 550°C quenching. Protect the part against decarburization and oxidation during hardening. Soaking time: 1020°C, 30 minutes, 1050°C, 30 minutes. Soaking time = time at hardening temperature after the tool is fully heated through.
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050 - 850°C.
