Hardening programs for Alleima knife steels
Den här sidan finns enbart på Engelska (This page is only available in English)
The hardening programs are carefully matched to the various Alleima steel grades. Choose the furnace type to suit either individual pieces or an entire batch. Then select a steel grade.
The hardening cycle starts with heating from room temperature to the required hardening temperature (A = austenitizing) of between 1050 and 1090°C (1922 and 1994°F), depending on the steel grade.
The material is then quenched (Q = quench) to room temperature in the space of less than 2 minutes, possibly followed by deep-freezing (DF = deep-freezing) to between –20 and -70°C (-4 and -94°F).
This is followed by the tempering process (T = tempering), during which the material is heated to 175 - 350°C (347 - 662°F), depending on the required hardness.
| Steel grade | Piece hardening |
Piece hardening, with deep freezing -20°C (-5°F) |
Piece hardening, with deep freezing -70°C (-95°F) |
