[QUOTE="kgunz11, post: 2556685, member: 5110"] I said "post partial". ;) One of us does not accurately understand what the "PH" stands for in terms of metal heat treat or hardness. It does not mean that the material is "pre hardened" as so many often think. It stands for "precipitation hardening" which means they CAN be heat treated to higher values, but that designation does not mean they are pre hardened. 17-4PH is often found annealed for machinability purposes, but can be heat treated to a hardened state. Some stainless like the 300 series can not be heat treated. It's been an interesting conversation, but I have no inclination to have a "member" measuring contest with you. Have a good day Sir.
