Remark:Water Quench at 820 ^oC -850 ^oC or oil quench at 830 °C-860°C and Tempered Between 540 °C – 680 °C

5.Forging

Heat 1.1191 steel with two steps,first heat the temperature to 750 ^oC – 800 ^oC ,hold for suitable time,then heat the temperature up to 1100 ^oC – 1200 ^oC,hold enough time for the steel to be thoroughly heated.Minimum forging temperature 850°C,so don’t forge below it.1.1191 steel should be cooled as slowly as possible in still air or in sand after forged.

6.Normalizing

Normalizing is used to refine the structure of forgings that might have cooled non-uniformly after forged,and considered as a conditioning treatment before final heat treatment.Normalizing temperature for 1.1191 steel should be carried out between 870℃-920℃. hold suitable time for the steel to be thoroughly heated to  complete the ferrite to austenite transformation.Soak for 10 – 15 minutes,then cool in still air.

7.Annealing

Annealing  is considered as a treatment  suitable for machining.1.1191 steel should be carried our at a nominal temperature of 800℃-850℃,hold suitable time for the steel to be thoroughly heated, then furnace cooling.

8.Hardening

1.1191 steel may be hardened to increase surface hardness and strength.It is usually heated to temperature  820^oC – 860^oC,hold suitable time for the steel to be  heated uniformly,soak for 10 -15 minutes per 25mm of section, and quench in water or oil.Tempering should be followed  immediately after quenched.

9.Tempering

Tempering will be carried out to optimize the property after quench.1.1191 steel is usually heated  to 400^oC – 650^oC as required, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section, and cool in still air.

10.Application

Compared with 1.0402,1.1191 steel has low alloy,but can be flamed or induction hardening to obtain high strength,and is widely used in many industries which require more strength,wear resistance,

Typical applications includes Axles,Bolts, Connecting Rods, Hydraulic Clamps ,Rams, Pins , Rolls, Studs, Shafts, Spindles, Sockets, Light gears etc.
