Quenching

Tempering Double tempering is recommended for both low and high temperature tempering.

Notes:

For higher corrosion resistance, tempering should be carried out at temperatures of 400°C or lower.
To prevent cracking in EDM, tempering is recommended at 490 to 510°C
When aging dimensional stability is deemed important, carry out low-temperature tempering at 200 to 400°C or sub-zero processing.

Dimensional Change Dimensional change is the smallest by tempering about 300°C
