Mechanical Properties:
Tensile Strength 655 MPa / 95000 psi
Yield Strength (MPa) 415 MPa / 60200 psi
Elongation (%) 25.7% in 50 mm
Heat Treatment: This alloy is hardened by heating to 1550 F and quenching in oil. It is best to
normalize the alloy by heating at 1675 F for a long enough time to permit through heating, followed by air
cooling, prior to the hardening treatment. Hardness: 92 HB
Welding: It is weldable of the conventional methods. Welding with the alloy in the heat-treated
condition will affect the mechanical properties and a post weld heat treatment may be required.
