Forming
|
This steel contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form.
|
Welding
|
Weldable by all of the standard methods.
|
Forging
|
This steel is supplied in plate, shapes and bar forms. It is not subsequently forged by the user
|
Hot Working
|
Hot working may be done if necessary. Consult the steel supplier for information.
|
Cold Working
|
Grade 65 is more difficult to cold work than ordinary plain carbon steel. However it can be bent or shaped successfully but requires more force than for plain carbon steel.
|
Tempering
|
Refer to ASTM A 514 for reference on quenched and tempered steel plate. Tempering of the quenched steel is done at a temperature of 1200 to 1300 F.
|
hardening
|
Hardens by cold working or by heat treatment, quench and tempering per ASTM A514
