hotter than any other tool steel and tempered more than once, and the two habits belong together. The high austenitizing temperature is what dissolves the alloy carbides the grade depends on, and it is also what leaves 20 to 30% retained austenite behind after the quench. That austenite does not transform on the first cool, so it needs <a href=\"https:\/\/aobosteel.com\/t1-double-tempering-mechanical-properties\/\">a second temper and sometimes a third<\/a>. This page collects the practice data for that sequence from the source article, together with the liquid nitriding cycle for high speed steel cutting tools, the recommended hardness for chasers and taps, and the full heat treating route for M50 bearing steel. Where a figure could be redrawn from its own numbers it was, and the rest are reproduced from the source plate with the caption saying which is which.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <div class=\"ts-tool-area\"> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Austenitizing temperature sets the as-quenched hardness<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">Hardness after the quench is a compromise between carbide dissolution and grain growth. At the bottom of the range the austenite never dissolves enough carbon and alloy to give the steel its full hardening response, so the as-quenched hardness falls away quickly. At the top of the range the carbides dissolve, the hardness peaks, and then grain growth and the rising retained austenite fraction start to pull it back down again. Fig. 1 shows the shape of that curve for M2, and the peak sits between 1170 and 1200 &deg;C. A shop that has to choose one austenitizing temperature for a mixed load will usually pick a point just past the peak, because the hardness lost on the high side is smaller than the hardness lost on the low side.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/aobosteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Aobo-Steel-High-Speed-Steel-Heat-Treatment-fig-12-m2-as-quenched-hardness.png\" alt=\"Redrawn chart of as-quenched hardness against austenitizing temperature for M2 high speed steel\" width=\"1140\" height=\"660\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<figcaption>Fig. 1. Effect of austenitizing temperature on the as-quenched hardness of M2 high speed steel. Redrawn from the source figure, with the curve digitized from the published chart. The source prints a Fahrenheit scale along the top axis of the original, where 1900, 2100 and 2300 &deg;F correspond to 1038, 1149 and 1260 &deg;C.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Multiple tempering and retained austenite<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">A temper that is too cold or too short does not condition the retained austenite left after the quench. That austenite holds until the steel cools from the second temper, and then it transforms to fresh, untempered martensite, which is why a third temper is sometimes needed. The practical rules that follow are that the work must cool to room temperature between tempers and that the second temper adds almost no hardness while it does add toughness. Table 1 shows the effect on mechanical properties for T1, and the torsion-impact strength roughly doubles between the shortest single temper and a double temper of the same total time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ts-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:760px;\">\n<thead><tr><th>Time at tempering temperature<\/th><th>Hardness, HRC<\/th><th>Bend strength, MPa (ksi)<\/th><th>Torsion-impact strength, J (ft &middot; lbf)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td class=\" colspan=\"4\" class=\"ts-type\"\">Single tempering at 565 &deg;C (1050 &deg;F)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>6 min<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">65.1<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2150 (312)<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">22 (16)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>1 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">65.7<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1860 (270)<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">41 (30)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2 1\/2 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">65.0<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2810 (408)<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">65 (48)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>5 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">64.5<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">2590 (376)<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">65 (48)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\" colspan=\"4\" class=\"ts-type\"\">Double tempering at 565 &deg;C (1050 &deg;F)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2 1\/2 h + 2 1\/2 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">64.5<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">3130 (454)<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">85 (63)<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ts-tcap\"><em>Source, Table 11 of Heat Treating of Specific Classes of Tool Steels. The source notes that the second temper gives a negligible increase in hardness and that the steel should be cooled to room temperature between tempers.<\/em><\/p> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Refrigeration treatment<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">A refrigeration treatment converts retained austenite to martensite and is recommended for the highly alloyed high speed steels such as M42, M3 class 2 and CPM Rex 60. It works best straight after the quench. The tool is cooled to at least -85 &deg;C (-120 &deg;F) and then tempered or retempered at the normal tempering temperature. A carburized surface responds to the same treatment even when it has already been tempered.<\/p> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Nitriding high speed steel cutting tools<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">Liquid nitriding is preferred over gas nitriding for high speed steel cutting tools because it produces a more ductile case with a lower nitrogen content. The cycle is short and seldom exceeds one hour at 565 &deg;C (1050 &deg;F). Table 2 shows how the nitrogen content of the surface layer builds with time, and Table 3 shows the carbon that the cyanide bath also introduces. A tool nitrided in a fresh bath or for a short time carries a steep nitrogen and hardness gradient. The source recommends a longer immersion, a higher temperature or a thoroughly aged bath to flatten that gradient, because a steep gradient is what makes the case brittle. When the immersion time is short, the cyanate content of the bath should stay above 6%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ts-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:560px;\">\n<thead><tr><th>Time at 565 &deg;C (1050 &deg;F)<\/th><th>Nitrogen, %<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>3 min<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.06<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>10 min<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.093<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>30 min<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>90 min<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.26<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>3 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">0.58<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>6 h<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1.09<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ts-tcap\"><em>Source, Table 12 of Heat Treating of Specific Classes of Tool Steels.

The three curves are read at 200 g, 100 g and 500 g indenter loads.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Steam treating<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">Steam treating develops a blue-black oxide film that reduces the adhesion between the tool and the workpiece. The work is heated to about 370 &deg;C (700 &deg;F) and equalised, steam is admitted at a controlled rate for roughly the first part of the cycle, the furnace is then partly sealed to build a positive steam pressure and the temperature is raised to 525 &deg;C (975 &deg;F). The film is relatively insensitive to temperature up to about 580 &deg;C (1075 &deg;F), so the treatment can be combined with a normal temper. It also cleans up the pitting that adhering salt leaves on tools hardened in a salt bath.<\/p> <h2 class=\"ts-h2\">Hardness for chasers and taps<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ts-p\">Hardness for a threading tool follows the pitch and the material being cut. Coarse pitch threads take a harder chaser than fine pitch threads, and Acme threads take a softer one because the wide chip load punishes a brittle edge. Chasers for cast iron and plastics are taken to the maximum hardness the grade will reach, since those materials are cut with little cutting force and the tool life comes down to abrasion resistance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ts-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:660px;\">\n<thead><tr><th rowspan=\"2\">Threading tool<\/th><th colspan=\"4\">Hardness, HRC<\/th><\/tr><tr><th>Fine-pitch threads<\/th><th>Coarse-pitch threads<\/th><th>Acme threads<\/th><th>Pipe threads<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Chasers<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">61-63<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">64-65<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">60-62<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">. . .<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Taps<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">63-65<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">63-65<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">62-64<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">62-64<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ts-tcap\"><em>Source, Table 14 of Heat Treating of Specific Classes of Tool Steels.

Any cooling rate that brings the austenitized part to 205 &deg;C (400 &deg;F) or below within 15 minutes will harden it, so the cooling route is chosen for distortion and residual stress rather than for hardness. The route the source recommends runs through a 540 to 595 &deg;C (1000 to 1100 &deg;F) salt quench, a 175 to 190 &deg;C (350 to 375 &deg;F) martemper bath and a series of tempers of 540 to 550 &deg;C (1000 to 1025 &deg;F), with a cool to room temperature between each one and a deep freeze either before the first temper or between the first and the second. Parts are austenitized at 1105 to 1120 &deg;C (2025 to 2050 &deg;F) for 3 to 10 minutes, and the interval between austenitizing and the martemper bath should not exceed 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ts-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"ts-table\" style=\"min-width:720px;\">\n<thead><tr><th rowspan=\"2\">Cycles<\/th><th rowspan=\"2\">Temperature, &deg;C<\/th><th rowspan=\"2\">Temperature, &deg;F<\/th><th rowspan=\"2\">Time (a), min<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td class=\" colspan=\"4\" class=\"ts-type\"\">Two preheat baths<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>1<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">675-730<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1250-1350<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">10-15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">815-870<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1500-1600<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5-15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\" colspan=\"4\" class=\"ts-type\"\">Three preheat baths<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>1<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">675-730<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1250-1350<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">10-15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">815-870<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1500-1600<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5-15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>3<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">955-1010<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">1750-1850<\/td><td class=\"ts-num\">5-10<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ts-tcap\"><em>Source, Table 15 of Heat Treating of Specific Classes of Tool Steels.
