Carburising / Case Hardening

Case hardening will give a hard wear resisting surface and a tough core strength to the steel. Case hardening temperatures range from 880-930°C, followed by rapid quenching and tempering which will determine the resulting hardness.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of 8620 steel.
