Physical properties (average values) at ambient temperature
Modulus of elasticity [103 x N/mm2]:210
Density [g/cm3]:7.63
Thermal conductivity [W/m.K]:20.0
Electric resistivity[Ohmmm2/m]:0.65
Specific heat capacity[J/g.K]:0.46
Soft Annealing
Heat to 820-850 C , cool slowly in furnace . This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 260 .
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 650 C, holding
for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion
during heat treatment .
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 1070-1100 C followed by air quenching or warm bath quenching
350-450C. Hardness after quenching is 63-64 HRC.
Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050-900°C.
Machinability
The machinability rating of 1.2378 is roughly 25 % that of free machining carbon steel 1018.
Due to its abrasion resistant nature, machining in the hardened condition should be limited to
finish grinding.
