Hardness behavior of W. Nr. 1.7709 steel, oil quenched and tempered between 475°C and 575°C

Steel components frequently involve a heat treatment to improve mechanical properties. In order to meet difficult working conditions, several components are hardened by quenching. W. Nr. 1.7709 is a representative structural steel with very low thermal conductivity among EN wrought alloy steels, whi...
