Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carburizing is a heat treatment process that involves adding carbon to the surface layer of the steel. This process increases the surface hardness while maintaining a tough and ductile core. The typical carburizing process for 8620 steel involves the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heating:<\/strong> The steel is heated to a temperature between 900\u00b0C and 950\u00b0C in a carbon-rich environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soaking:<\/strong> The steel is held at this temperature to allow carbon to diffuse into the surface layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quenching:<\/strong> The steel is rapidly cooled to lock the carbon in place, resulting in a hard surface layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tempering:<\/strong> The steel is reheated to a lower temperature to relieve internal stresses and improve toughness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"normalizing\">Normalizing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Normalizing is another heat treatment process used for 8620 steel. It involves heating the steel to a temperature above its critical point and then air cooling it. This process refines the grain structure and improves the mechanical properties of the steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"annealing\">Annealing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Annealing is a heat treatment process that softens the steel and improves its machinability. The process involves heating the steel to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it. Annealed 8620 steel is easier to machine and shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tempering\">Tempering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tempering is a process used to improve the toughness and ductility of quenched steel. The steel is heated to a temperature below its critical point and then cooled. This process reduces brittleness and enhances the overall mechanical properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mechanical-properties-of-8620-steel-in-different-conditions\">Mechanical Properties of 8620 Steel in Different Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Condition<\/th><th>Tensile Strength (MPa)<\/th><th>Yield Strength (MPa)<\/th><th>Elongation (%)<\/th><th>Hardness (HB)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Annealed<\/td><td>655<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>31<\/td><td>149<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Carburized<\/td><td>1200 &#8211; 1500<\/td><td>850 &#8211; 1100<\/td><td>10 &#8211; 15<\/td><td>60 &#8211; 62 HRC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Normalized<\/td><td>700 &#8211; 850<\/td><td>400 &#8211; 500<\/td><td>20 &#8211; 25<\/td><td>170 &#8211; 200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tempered<\/td><td>900 &#8211; 1100<\/td><td>650 &#8211; 800<\/td><td>12 &#8211; 20<\/td><td>220 &#8211; 250<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"machining-and-welding-of-8620-steel\">Machining and Welding of 8620 Steel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"8620 steel\" class=\"wp-image-8132\" style=\"width:631px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/qilusteelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2023_06_21_17_53_IMG_0671-tuya-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"machining-tips\">Machining Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>8620 steel is relatively easy to machine, especially in its annealed condition.
