heat treating 1008 sheet steel
(OP)
hello
I have some brackets made of 1008 cold roll steet .020 thick sheet .. I need to have them heat treated to 40 -45 Rc
does any one know the procedure? just need to have some spring back on them...
need temp settings
time and cooling procedure...
thank you

I doubt that it will make RC40 even just quenched without a temper.

is there any way I can make these bkts act as if there were made from spring steel..
here's the problem,, the parts should had been made from spring steel .020-C1075 ROCKWELL HARDNESS C43-46
and they were made from .020 1008 cold roll steel..
thank for your help

This is not recommended since you will have little control over the final properties.

if carburize is the only option I guess we can try it and see what happens, the target hardness is not critical, since this is a light fixture bracket,
all we are trying to achive is a little spring back property,,,
thanks for the info..

Where the strength comes in is in how far you can bend it before it takes a set (yields).

Sorry, but you are stuck with non-conforming material, which cannot be used to provide properties like a 1075 steel. Use it on another project.
