3. Physical properties
- Thermal expension co-efficient: 12.5 ( 25~200˚C )
- Specifice gravity: 7.8g/cm3
- Heat Conductivity (W/mK): 24(20˚C)
- Young's Modulus (GPa): 205
4. Heat treatment conditions
- A temperature is set higher (+25 to 50˚C) than the operative temperature
- When the temperature of solid solution rises, its hardness increases as well. The 2nd hardening occurs in the range from 400 to 530˚C
