z Characteristics
1. Better tensile strength and percentage of elongation
than chromium steels.
2. Combine with Cr and Mo, high hardenability, good
resistance to tempered -softening.
3. Good strength and toughness。

z Application
Gear、shaft、screw、winch、nut、bobbin

z Heat Treatment
1. Annealing— Heat to approx. 830℃, furnace cooling.
2. Normalizing : Heat to approx.830~880℃, air cooling.
3. Quench: (1) Heat to 840~870℃, oil cooling.
4. Tempering: Heat to approx. 550~650℃, water cooling.
