TYPICAL ANALYSIS Carbon........ 1.40% Manganese..... .85% Silicon....... .90% Molybdenum.... .25% Normalizing . . . Heat to 1600 F (870 C). Holding time, after
uniform through heating, varies from about 15 min for small sections to about 1 hr for large sections. Work is cooled from temperature in still air.
Uses . . . Bushings and drill bushings. Forging . . . Start forging at 1800 to 1950 F (980 to 1065
C). Do not forge below 1500 F (815 C).
Hardening . . . Preheat
slowly to 1200 F (650 C). Austenitize at 1450 to 1500 F (790 to 815 C) for 10 to 30 min, then quench in oil. Quenched hardness, 63 to 65 HRC.
