Description

This high strength resistant alloy material was destroyed and metallurgically analyzed to qualify a new supplier of for application. The requirements for this application include maximum hardness of 35 (not to be embrittled by from ). This obtains its high strenght by (strain hardening) and the maximum actual individual hardness measured for this bolt was 31 HRc.
