Heat Treatment
Annealing  For 55NiCrMoV7/1.2714
1.Nominal Annealing temperature:650-700°C
2.Cool slowly in the furance
3.Maximum Brinell hardness of 255

Hardening and Tempering(QT)  For 55NiCrMoV7/1.2714
1.Nominal Hardening temperature:830-870°C for oil,830-890°C for air.
2.Hold at the temperature then quench in oil or air.
