4Cr5MoSiV Mold Steel Heat Treatment
Preheated to 816°C(1500°F). Then the steels are directly heated by increasing the temperature to 1010°C(1850°F) followed by holding for 15 to 40 minutes, then air-quenched. Annealed at 871°C (1600°F) and slowly cooled at 4°C (40°F in the furnace. Tempering at temperature ranging from 538 to 649°C (1000 to 1200°F) to obtain hardness of 38 to 54 HRC.
