17-4 PH Stainless Steel attains its maximum hardness by furnace hardening at 900° F for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes at this temperature, the hardness peaks and then begins to become less hard. The TiN coating process is done at approximately 900° F, but the process generally takes from 2 to 4 hours to complete. This results in the steel becoming less hard during the TiN coating process.
