When tempering at 250-500ºC, holding timemust be increased to 1.5 times longer and at lower than 250ºC, 2 times longer than the standard.Note2: Tempering is required no less than two times for grades containing no cobalt and at least three times forgrades containing cobalt to improve toughness when high temperature tempering is done.Note3: Because toughness deteriorates, tempering higher than 600ºC must avoid for high-speed tool steels.TRefer to the tableThickness (mm)Holding time for tempering (h) 2526 - 3536 - 6465 - 8485 - 124125 - 174175 - 249250 - 349350 - 49911.52345678Annealing1. All material is delivered as spheroidized annealed condition.2. After reforging, spheroidizing is to be done before hardening. Please refer to the standard heat treatment conditions.3. Stress relief annealing is to be done to remove stress caused by cold working such as drawing and rolling and to softenor reduce distortion caused by subsequent hardening.
