Heat treatment

EQT 400 450 & 500 receives its properties by quenching and when applicable by subsequent
tempering. The properties of the delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure at service
or preheating temperatures above 250C.

EQT 400 450 & 500 is not intended for any further heat treatment.

General processing recommendations

To obtain optimal work shop productivity when processing EQT 400 450 & 500 it is of most impor-
tance to use the recommended procedures and tools given below.

Thermal cutting

Flame cutting can be performed without the need for preheating in thicknesses up to 40 mm.
In plasma cutting no preheating is required.

Machining

EQT 400 450 & 500 offers good machinability with HSS and HSS-Co alloyed drills. The feed rate
and cutting speed have to be adjusted to the high hardness of the material.

Face milling, counter boring and countersinking are best performed using tools with replaceable
cemented carbide inserts.

Cold forming
EQT 400 450 & 500 is very well suited for cold
forming operations.

The minimum recommended R/t ratio when bending of EQT 400

450 & 500 is given in the table below:
Thickness (mm) Transverse to Longitudinal to Width (W/t)
rolling (R/t) rolling (R/t)
8 - 20 4 5 12

R = Recommended punch radius (mm), t = Plate thickness (mm) , W – Die opening width (mm)
(bending angle ≤ 90°)

Due to the homogeneous properties of EQT 400 450 & 500 variations in springback is kept at a low level.
Grinding of flame cut or a sheared edge in the bending area is recommended to further prevent
cracking during bending.

Welding
EQT 400 450 & 500 has a very good weldability, granted by the low carbon equivalent of the steel.
It can be welded using any of the conventional welding methods, both as manual or automatic.

If welding using a heat input of 1.7 kJ/mm, preheating is not required in single
plate thickness up to 20 mm. The interpass temperature used should not exceed 225° C.

Soft weld consumables, giving low hydrogen weld deposits (<= 5 ml/100g), are recommended.
The consumable strength should be as soft as the design and wear mode allows.

In general, the welding recommendation of EQT 400 450 & 500 should be in the accordance to EN-
1011.
