Hi
i have got some 38Mnv56 and would like to heat treat it to conform to ISO 898 gr 8.8 would it be possible to achieve this with this material and if so could you give me the heat treatment requirements

I don't have any information on your material but you maybe able to find an equlivent at the following site.

If you have the MTR, I would query the manufacturer directly for product data sheet.

The correct designation is 38MnVS6 (1.1303) according to DIN EN 10267. This grade is used as a precipitation hardening steel for hot forgings that are subsequently controlled cooled so that the as-forged ferrite-pearlite microstructure can replace conventional quenched and tempered martensitic products. It will also respond to quenching and tempering, so austenitize at 830-870 C, oil quench, temper somewhere between 550-660 C. Not sure of the exact tempering characteristics, as there will be a significant difference between hardness after 550 C and that at 660 C. Your steel supplier should be able to give you a narrower range for PC 8.8 (22-32 HRC).
