Category: HEAT TREATMENT OF STEEL

The Society of Automotive Engineers have adopted certain heat treatments
to suit different steels and varying conditions. These have already
been referred to on pages 39 to 41 in connection with the different
steels used in automobile practice. These treatments are designated
by letter and correspond with the designations in the table.

4. Quench.
5. Reheat to 600-1,200 deg.F. and cool slowly.

Heat Treatment F

After shaping or coiling:
1. Heat to 1,425-1,475 deg.F.
2. Quench in oil.
3. Reheat to 400-900 deg.F., in accordance with temper desired and cool
slowly.

Heat Treatment G

After forging or machining:
1. Carbonize at a temperature between 1,600 deg.F. and 1,750 deg.F.
(1,650-1,700 deg.F. desired).
2. Cool slowly in the carbonizing mixture.
3. Reheat to 1,500-1,550 deg.F.
4. Quench.
5. Reheat to 1,300-1,400 deg.F.
6. Quench.
7. Reheat to 250-500 deg.F. (in accordance with the necessities of the case)
and cool slowly.

Heat Treatment H
