Modulus of Elasticity according to ASTM E 132-04

EOS MaragingSteel can be heat treated to match  various needs of different applications. The two step  heat treatment can be performed under vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. First step is solution annealing to minimize amount of austenite in the martensitic matrix. The needed hardness and strength is achieved through aging treatment where hardening takes place through forming of intermetallic phases and precipitates.

Solution annealing:
2 h at 940 °C (±10 °C) measured from the part followed by rapid air cooling to room temperature (below 32 °C). Cooling rate 5-60 °C/min.
Reaching room temperature before starting aging treatment is required to achieve desired microstructure.

Aging:
For peak hardness of 54 HRC age 6 h at 490 °C (±10 °C) measured from the part followed by air cooling.
Mechanical properties presented in this document achieved through this aging procedure.
