Supply Scope & Technical Reference Note

Aobo Steel supplies tool steel in an annealed condition and does not provide final heat-treatment services such as hardening, quenching, cryogenic treatment, or tempering.

The heat treatment parameters, hardness data, and process recommendations in this reference are provided as general technical support for our customers. Actual heat-treatment results may vary depending on furnace capacity, section size, tool geometry, material condition, quenching practice, and process control. Final heat-treatment procedures and validation should be performed by the customer’s heat-treatment facility in accordance with the specific tooling application and production requirements.
