    This document provides information on the chemical composition, characteristics, heat treating, and properties of steel grade 15B41H. Some key points: 1. 15B41H is a boron-treated high carbon steel that has significantly increased hardenability due to the boron addition. It has good forgeability but fair machinability and poor weldability. 2. Recommended heat treating involves normalizing, annealing, austenitizing, quenching, and tempering. Proper quenching and tempering are needed to achieve the desired hardness levels. 3. Graphs show how the steel's hardness varies with distance from the quenched surface, tempering temperature,
