ARP4715A: Induction Hardening of Steel Components - Recommended Practice

Features

Issuing Committee: AMS E Carbon and Low Alloy Steels Committee

Scope

Content: This recommended practice provides guidelines for the establishment of an induction hardening process for steel components. It is intended to be used as a guide for designers of induction hardened parts, for process auditors, and for purchase specifications and/or process sheets as applicable.

Induction heat treatment is intended for hardening of only selected areas of plain carbon or alloy steel components. A prior heat treatment may be specified for improved response of the overall component to induction hardening, or for control of properties in the balance of the part. AMS 2759 is recommended for such prior heat treatment.

Rationale

Content: ARP4715A has been declared "STABILIZED" by SAE AMS Committee E Carbon and Low Alloy Steels as no longer state of the art and other sources are available in the open literature.
