After 2 h tempering at 600 °C, the mechanical properties of the product must remain unchanged.

2.4 Decarburization
in accordance ISO 3887
The depth of decarburization is defined as the distance between the surface and the limit beyond which
the minimum hardness specified in paragraph 2.3 is reached.
The decarburization must not exceed 3 mm in depth.
No decarburization is allowed on the machined areas of the part.

3 Metallurgical properties
The minimum hardness to be reached after a local heating, in accordance with the following table, must
be of 54 HRC or 756 LD, with a portable electronic hardness meter with bounce.

Requirements
Heat treatment

4 Health check
A non destructive check by penetrant inspection must be performed on all the areas designated for this
(Zd). The observed image must not show linear faults. The circular faults must correspond at most with
the SP2 standard image of the norm EN 1371-1.
