A Design Study in Steel - Cast Connex Steel Construction Connector

Heat Treating

Heat treatment of the connectors was a critical process step to produce the required microstructure, mechanical properties,  and Charpy Impact values. 


The castings were heat treated per the ASTM A958 specification ( a 1700F austenitizing, water quench, and  an 1150F temper cycle).
