Product Overview

SN-660 Neutral Salt is a chloride-based neutral salt bath compound designed for austenitising and pre-heating of carbon steels, tool steels and low-alloy engineering steels. The bath operates in the 660°C–900°C temperature range — covering both the pre-heating stage before high-temperature hardening and the full austenitising cycle for lower-alloy grades.

Because the salt is chemically neutral at operating temperature, the steel surface undergoes no carburisation, decarburisation or oxidation. Parts emerge clean, bright and ready for quenching — with no scale to remove and no surface layer to grind back.

Typical Applications

Die Pre-Heating

Pre-heat forging dies and punches before hardening to reduce thermal shock. Standard pre-heat range 650°C–750°C.

Austenitising (Low Alloy)

Full austenitising cycle for carbon steels (EN8, EN9) and low-alloy steels (EN19, EN24) before oil or water quench.

Tool Steel Treatment

Pre-heating stage for HSS before transfer to SN HSS-972 high-temperature hardening bath.

Bearing Pre-Heat

Pre-heating of bearing rings (100Cr6, EN31) at 650°C before transfer to austenitising furnace or salt bath.

Commercial HT Shops

Versatile bath for multi-product job shops handling mixed steel grades in a single pre-heat bath.

Foundry Normalising

Normalising and stress-relief treatments for cast iron and steel castings in the 750°C–850°C range.
