Production

This steel grade is a martensitic alloy. It is melted in open hearth and induction furnaces as well as in vacuum induction furnaces with subsequent vacuum-arc remelting. After quenching, the rolled steel is hardened through the martensitic transformation. The structure of grained pearlite is given to the steel by annealing, upon completion of hardening the steel hardness is 197-207 NV-1. Increasing the quenching temperature increases the proportion of residual austenite. The optimum hardness is achieved at a hardening temperature of 1050 °C. Hot deformation is carried out in the temperature range 1100 - 900 °C. Billets are rolled and long products are drawn. Cracking is possible during rapid cooling. The hardening temperature is 1045 °C and the tempering temperature is 200 °C.
