Features
This is a high carbon martensitic stainless with
moderate corrosion resistance good strength
and the ability to obtain and keep excellent
hardness (Rc 60) and wear resistance.
Applications Ball bearings and races, gage blocks, molds
and dies, cutlery, valve components, knives
and measuring instruments.
Machinability Best machined in the annealed condition.
Tough, stringy chips can be best handled by
the use of chip breakers. Carbide or ceramic
tooling is recommended.
Welding This alloy is not commonly welded due to its
tendency to air harden. If it must be welded,
preheat to 500 F (260 C) and post weld treat

at 1350-1400 F (732-760 C) for 6 hours
followed by a slow furnace cooling to avoid
cracking. Use similar filler metal and high
heat inputs during operations.
Hot Working Pre-heat to 1400 F (760 C), then bring slowly
up to 1900-2200 F (1038-1204 C)before
proceeding. Do not work this material below
1700 F (927 C). Cool material slowly after
working and once at room temperature,
anneal fully.
Cold Working This alloy is considered only slightly cold
workable by common practices.
Annealing 1550-1600 F (843-871 C), followed by very
slow furnace cooling.
Tempering For maximum properties, soak at 300 F (148
C). Maximum obtainable hardness is RC 60.
Hardening Bring the material slowly up to 1400 F (760 C),
then on to a soak temperature of 1850 F (1010
C), air or oil cool.
