Re: Forging vs stock removal


Ed,
So is it the carbon content of the 52100 which makes it more brittle or is it the other 3 alloys that the 5160 has that make the difference? If I had school to do over again I'd sure like to get a class on metalergy, maybe a spelling class wouldn't hurt. I just blows me out how different alloys effect steel. Ray
