Forging
Heat to 1150 to 1200°C and hold at temperature until throughly soaked and suitable to forge. Do not forge below 850°C.
Heat Treatment
To harden EN26 first heat the component to 820 to 850°C and hold at temperature until throughly soaked. Quench the EN26 component in oil, water or polymer as required. EN26 can be flame or induction hardened to achieve a high surface hardness.
Tempering
To temper EN26 heat the component to the required tempering temperature (450 to 660°C), thoroughly soak for 1 hour per 25mm thickness of section, cool in air.
Nitriding
EN26 can be nitrided to give a surface hardness of up to 60HRc. Heat to 500 to 530°C and hold for sufficient time to develop the case depth required, no quenching is required.
Stress Relieving
To stress relieve EN26 heat the component to 640 to 660°C and hold until temperature is uniform through the section. Soak the EN26 component for 1 hour per 25mm thickness of section and cool in air.
