The success of the 1982 edition of the Heat Treater's Guide: Standard Practices and Procedures for Steel is largely a tribute to its editors who came up with a unique, easy-to-use format.
The SECO/WARWICK Heat Treating Data Book contains information about heat treating metals. This book is not intended as a text, but rather as a collection of frequently used reference data to serve persons interested in heat treating technology.
Each datasheet includes information such as: composition, trade names and common names, specifica tions (both U.S. and foreign), typical applications, mechanical and chemical properties, fabrication characteristics, and, of course, the reconunended heat treating practice.

Heat Treatment. AISI 6150 alloy steel is hardened at 871°C (1600°F). This steel is tempered followed by normalizing at 899°C (1650°F) and then air cooled.
It provides information on sensing and control, furnace types and atmospheres, quenchants and quenching, vacuum furnace processes, induction surface hardening, carburizing, carbonitriding, and nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing treatments.
The heat treating information shown represents typical procedures and hardnesses for many applications. Other procedures and hardnesses may be available. See individual data sections for more specific information.
