SCOPE

This international standard provides guidance for manufacturers that perform heat
treatment or produce heat-treated products or components

This standard can also be used as a basis for assessing the manufacturer or
heat treatment company in respect to its heat treatment capability

INFLUENCE OF HOLDING TIME

Extended holding time does not
have important meaning in stress
relieving
Meaning of the holding time is to
guarantee uniform temperature in
heated object

www.heatmasters.net

INFLUENCE OF THE RIGHT HOLDING TEMPERATURE

Holding temperature has direct
influence to the result of the process
Right holding temperature in the
example is 680 C

The heat-treatment personnel shall prepare heattreatment record for each product or component
that has been heat treated

The standard includes information that shall be

given in the heat treatment record

EXAMPLES
SHOULD RING YOUR BELLS

If you can see serial connected measuring circuits, it

means cheating in temperature measurement
