S30V temps?

[John L]

Does anyone have a spring temp for S30V? I am hardening and oil quenching @1950...tempering to R59 @ 600f. Thanks

Here is a link to the Crucible Metals data sheet for S30V. Heat treat data is on page 2.

Thanks...I have that and it only goes to R 56-57 and the graph goes a little haywire then also.

S30V is not intended as a spring steel. Having said that, i just may be tough enough to hold up at higher hardness - but that would be purely an experiment.
