Machinability
Machinability is good, similar to law alloy 4032 steel.
Forming
The product comes in piping form but may be formed readily by conventional methods.
Welding
Weldable by conventional methods.
Heat Treatment
Product is supplied in the normalized, 1500 f and air cooled, condition. It may be quenched and tempered by heating to 1475 F, quench in circulating water and then temper by re-heating to 1100 F and rapid air cooling.
Forging
Product is supplied in pipe form and not normally forged from that shape.
Hot Working
Hot working may be done qt 2000 F down to 1600 F if need be. Do not hot work below 1550 F and immediately following hot working cool in a controlled atmosphere furnace from a temperature above 1550 F.
Cold Working
Cold working may be done by conventional methods.
Annealing
Anneal, or normalize, at 1600 F and air cool.
