5.Forging
Heat the temperature between 1050℃-1150℃,hold suitable time for the
steel to be thoroughly heated.Reheat the steel once temperature
below 850°C. Crack is easily occured when improper cooling way
after forged,so it should be cooled as slowly as possible in the
furnace or in sand after forged.
6.Heat Treatment
- Soft Annealing
Heat to 650-720℃, cool slowly in the furnace. This will produce a
maximum Brinell hardness of 248. - Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 870-930℃, followed by oil/polymer or
water quenching. - Tempering
Tempering temperature: 580-700℃. - Nitriding
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (gas, salt bath): 570-580℃
Gas/plasma nitriding temperature (powder, plasma): 580℃
Surface hardness after nitriding: 800 HV

8.Application
31CrMoV9 nitriding steel is used in mechanics automotive and
general mechanics, which must be nitrided for very high wear
forces, for example, gears, rods or axes.Structural parts of medium
and large cross sections and high surface hardness, e.g., valve and
gate valves, cylinders for combustion engines, superheated steam
valves and fittings.
