Chrome-manganese-molybdenum steel for hardening in air with good hardenability and good firmness during the heat. It is well-workable during the heat and well-workable in the soft-annealed state.
Tools for hot working such as inter-inserts and heat-stressed auxiliary tools.

Way | Temperature [°C] | Procedure | |
---|---|---|---|
Forging | 850-1100 | Cool slowly in dry ash or thick cross-sections in the furnace | |
Soft annealing | 580-600 | Warm few hours (according to the size of object), mostly four hours are enough and cool slowly in the furnace | |
Annealing to lower tension | 600-650 | Warm 1 to 2 hours and cool slowly in the furnace | |
Hardening | 840-870 | Cool in oil or in air at 180 up to 220 °C | |
Tempering | 500-650 | Cool in air, the degree of tempering is set by hardness and toughness of instrument according to the tempering chart |
