A Cryo treatment in liquid nitrogen (or dry ice) before tempering will reduce retained austenite and increase hardness Temper between 350°F - 400°F twice for 2 hours each time. Cool to room temperature in between tempers. Austenitizing at 2010 F followed by a Cryo treatment and tempering at 400F should result in a hardness of 60-61 HRC ProductSiteLaunchDate : 2024-03-29T21:02:46.364Z RecommendedUsesForProduct : Electrical,Mechanical Size : 1/8" Style : Modern SupplierDeclaredDgHzRegulation : unknown SupplierDeclaredHasProductIdentifierExemption : 1 UnitCount : 1
