Heat Treatment:
Annealing: Uniformly heat to 820-850°C (1508-1562°F), hold to ensure thorough heating, then cool slowly in the furnace to below 600°C (1112°F) to achieve complete annealing.
Quenching: Gradually preheat to the austenitizing temperature of 980-1010°C (1796-1850°F), then quench rapidly in oil or air to attain full hardness.
Tempering: b11d2fa0
