Annealing

This alloy can be cold upset and swaged successfully.

Cold Working

Heat to 2150 F(1180 C) rapidly and cool rapidly following working. Do not soak at temperature.

Forging

All common joining techniques can be successfully employed here. When a filler metal is required, it is suggested to use a similar composition alloy, available from the manufacturer.

Welding

The alloy is readily formed using most common practices and should not present any unusual problems. For maximum properties, material should be fully annealed after any forming operations.

Forming

This alloy can be machined employing most common methods. It is known to produce "gummy" chips and is best machined at slow speeds with positive and constant feeds.

Machinability

Commonly employed in electronic equipment such as radios, laser systems and thermostats.
