Casting and processing considerations

Good castability and moderate pouring temperatures. Surface decarburisation from the reaction between metal, shell and atmosphere has to be considered on heat-treated and wear surfaces; machining allowance or a controlled furnace atmosphere are common countermeasures. Section-size sensitivity of quenched and tempered grades should be reflected in the drawing requirements.
