Available surface conditions: cold rolled. E MAT II can be worked as follows:
machining (grinding, turning, milling)
polishing
HEAT TREATMENT hot forming
Soft annealing in a protective atmosphere electrical discharge machining
at 850-900°C for 3 hours, followed by welding (special procedure including
slow cooling 10°C per hour down to 700°C, preheating and filler materials of base

Stress-relieving at 600°C to 700°C for
approximately 2 hours, slow cooling GRINDING
