Drawing Specifications 1.0

Drawing specifications for heat, thermochemical, mechanical and surface treatments

Description:

Drawing Specifications 1.0 supports the Designer in the writing of the drawing specifications for heat, thermochemical, mechanical and surface treatments performed mainly on special structural steels. The adopted definitions are consistent with EN 10052 : 1995 Vocabulary of heat treatments terms for ferrous products.

1. Primary rules:

  • Rule 1.1: The specifications for drawing treatment have to be clear and coherent. It is better to go beyond in the demanded description rather than leave a possibility of interpretation at the performer of the treatment.
  • Rule 1.2: If there are possibilities of misunderstanding it has to be always indicated the zone where it is demanded a defined characteristic, covering the tolerances and the measurement method.
  • Rule 1.3: Every demanded characteristic has to be obtained during treatment and checked during control.
  • Rule 1.4: The drawing specifications have to be intended to the final product.

2. Secondary rules:

  • Rule 2.1: In the cartouche it has to be indicated the material, in terms of quality and dimensions with references to the specific product standards and the starting heat treatment condition.
  • Rule 2.2: In the drawing field it has to be indicated the succession of the heat, thermochemical, mechanical and surface treatments in chronogical order from up to down.
  • Rule 2.3: It has to be clearly indicated the zone that has to be protected during the treatment (anticarburizing, antinitriding etc. protections).
  • Rule 2.4: It has to be indicated the types of atmosphere usable during the treatment, for the heating, the maintenance, and the cooling, if they are fundamental for obtaining some surface characteristics.

Use:

  1. Choose from the list the treatment you want to know the modes of drawing specification
  2. Fill in the empty fields taking attention to the notes
  3. Copy & paste the complete specification in the drawing field respecting the chronological order of execution of the treatments from up to down
