Type 420 Stainless Steel Heat Treatment

Type 420 stainless steel heat treatment includes annealing, hardening, tempering and stress relief. Preparation for heat treatment includes precleaning, preheating, atmosphere protection, salt bath, and hydrogen embrittlement.

• Precleaning: All workpieces of SS420 and fixtures must be thoroughly cleaned, such as oil, sweat and other stains on the surface of the workpiece.
• Preheating: The thermal conductivity of type 420 stainless steel is usually lower than that of carbon steel. When heating rapidly, the workpiece is easily deformed and cracked. Therefore, preheating is recommended. The preheating temperature is generally 760-790 °C (1400-1450 °F). Heavy-duty parts can be preheated in two stages: Preheat at 540 °C (1000 °F) firstly, and then heat to 790 °C (1450 °F).
• Atmosphere protection: Austenitizing temperature 1010 °C (1850 °F), dew-point temperature: 10-12 °C (50-54 °F) for AISI 420 wrought martensitic stainless steel.
• Salt bath: Bath salts give 420 grade stainless steel (SS 420) parts a better result.
• Hydrogen embrittlement: Hydrogen embrittlement is a serious problem with 420 steel.

Annealing

Annealing for ASTM AISI 420 wrought stainless steel.

• Subcritical annealing (Recommended) temperature for AISI 420 stainless steel: from 675-760 °C (1245-1400 °F); Air cool from the temperature range, use the upper heating temperature range to minimize hardness. The corresponding Rockwell hardness is 94-97 HRB.
• Full annealing temperature for type 420 steel: 830-885 °C (1525-1625 °F), and then soak thoroughly, furnace cool to 790 °C (1455 °F), continue cooling at 15-25 °C/h (27-45 °F/h) to 595 °C (1100 °F); Air cool to room temperature. The corresponding Rockwell hardness is 86-95 HRB.
• Isothermal annealing temperature for AISI 420 grade stainless steel: Heat to 830-885 °C (1525-1625 °F); keep 2h at 705 °C (1300 °F), the corresponding Rockwell hardness is 95 HRB. (Preheat at subcritical annealing temperature range is very important.)

Hardening

Hardening for 420 grade stainless steel: Heating to austenitizing temperature 980-1065 °C (1800-1950 °F), quenching medium is air or oil, if the part thickness is > 0.25 in. (6.4 mm), oil quenching should be used. After quenching to room temperature, immediate cold treatment is recommended and the recommended cold treatment temperature is -75±10 °C (-100±20 °F), which can reduce austenite and keep maximum dimensional stability.
