The austenitising temperature would be around 925 deg C. However, the holding time at temperature of ~30 minutes may lead to some grain growth and de-carburisation unless you have very good control over furnace atmosphere.
There would be loss of strength since mechanical properties are achieved by quenching and tempering.
