| Carbon | 0.85-0.95% | Chromium | 0.20-0.50% |
| Manganese | 1.80-2.20% | Silicon | 0.10-0.40% |
| Sulphur | 0.03% max | Vanadium | 0.05-0.20% |
| Phosphorous | 0.03% max |
Heat the 90MnCrV8 steel slowly and uniformly to 1000°C. Forge within a temperature range of 1050-850°C reheating if required. Cool slowly, in a furnace to avoid setting up stresses.
Heat the steel uniformly to 720°C, equalise, then furnace cool. (Hardness about 229 Brinell). Fully machined tools in grade 90MnCrV8 should be packed during annealing.
Heat uniformly to 790-820°C until heated through. (If possible pre-heat the component at 300-500°C). Allow 30 minutes per 25 millimetre of section and quench immediately in oil.
Martempering is an alternative hardening process which may be used with suitable salt bath equipment.
Heat the component uniformly and thoroughly at the selected tempering temperatures and hold for at least one hour per 25mm of thickness.
| Temperature [°C] | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 | 300 | 400 |
| Hardness [HRc] | 64 | 63 | 62 | 60 | 56 | 50 |
Heat treatment temperatures for 90MnCrV8, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the size and shape of each steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include type of furnace, quenching medium and component transfer facilities. Please consult a heat treatment specialist for full guidance on heat treatment.
In consultation with the grinding wheel manufacturer select the correct wheel. Ensure the grinding wheel is of good condition by means of a suitable dressing tool. Wet grinding is a preferred option using copious supply of coolant. If dry grinding is resorted to then use a soft wheel.
90MnCrV8 steel specification is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001:2008 registration.
