a As a guideline,a hardening time at temperature of at least 30 min is recommended. The maximum diameters stated are those attainable with the lowest hardenability within each steel grade.Using +HH grades the maximum diameter can be increased.

Application and ordering note

Chemical composition, mechanical properties, tolerances and delivery condition must be confirmed against the applicable standard edition, customer drawing and order specification.
