Any good on-line sources for heat treating specs for BG-42?? I already have the Admiral Steel specs. Who is the original vendor of this steel?

Thanks.

Thank you VERY MUCH. That may be more than I was even hoping to find. I really do appreciate that link.

KIT CARSON,

What is your opinion of the minimum tempering temperature outlined in the BG-42 data sheet found at the above link? You no doubt have HT'ed BG-42 and I wonder about tempering at that high a temperature.

Thanks.

I really like the way these data sheets read and what they show. I am anxious to try a couple or so test pieces following their demands as closely as my equipment will permit.

Thanks again for the good link.

I started my career at Timken, a good company. You'll also note that the steel is very high quality - double vacuum melted. It's very nice that some companies provide such good info.
 
I have a question on steel trade names, other than ANSI or AISI grade designations. Any idea where the names come from?

154CM is pretty obvious, 15% Chrome, 4% Moly. How about the Japanese names like AUS6, AUS8, ATS34, etc. The subject of this thread is BG42. Does the "BG" stand for "bearing grade"? Any one know what, if anything, the various names mean?
 
No Dan I don't believe I do.

Don, yes it seems to be and I was just kidding and have seen in writing similar sarcastic comments about D2 because of its apparent dislike for being machined. I haven't had any known problems with D2 but I haven't worked with D2 much either.
