[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2779367, member: 124360"] What temperature are we looking at for the meloniting process? 700 degrees is the area where a chromolly type steel is normalized and stress releived. I think that's a good thing, as not only does it keep residual stresses left in the metal (from machining) from making the parts move as temp changes, but also from cracking in parts that have high cyclical loads and areas where there may be stress risers due to shape.
