Welding
Consult the alloy supplier for information on the advisability of welding.
Heat Treatment
Preheat at 1450 F before heating for hardening. Then heat rapidly from 1450 F to 2200 F and
hold for 3 to 5 minutes followed by quenching in oil, air or salt bath.
Forging
Forge at 2050 F down to 1700 F. Do Not forge below 1700 F.
Hot Working
See Forging and consult the supplier for information on working at lower temperatures.
Cold Working
Cold working may be accomplished with the alloy in the annealed condition
Annealing
Anneal at 1625 F and slow furnace cool at 40 F per hour, or less.
Tempering
Temper at 1050 F for a hardness of Rockwell C 60 to 65.
