Hardened and Tempered EN24T Flat Bar For Gears

| Annealing | Heat slowly to 840-860°C (Soak well and allow to cool) |
|---|---|
| Tempering | Tempering between 250-375°C (Heat carefully to a suitable temperature selected by reference to the tempering chart ) |
| Stress Relieving | Heat carefully to 650-670°C (Stress relieving will be beneficial prior to hardening) |
| Hardening | Heat to 830-850°C (Neutral salt bath will reduce the possibility of scaling or decarburisation) |
