Quenching or quenching and tempering with good mechanical properties, low temperature impact toughness are better. Sensitive to this tendency of steel with white spots, high-temperature tempering have tendency to temper brittleness. Quenched martensite hardness to half, when oil quenching hardenability Φ50 ~ 70mm. Can be good machinability, weldability medium.
