Advantages:
1.Air hardening from low temperature.
2.Excellent size stability in heat treatment.
3.Deep hardening.
4.Easy to machine.
Availability:
Moderately available,not as available as A-2.
Applications:
A-6 is a medium alloy steel used in die and mould applications.It has a very good balance of toughness, strength and wear resistance. Quite often it is chosen because of its good machinability and non-deforming characteristics in heat treatment.
Machinability:
A-6 is readily machined in the annealed conditon. Its machinability is about 65% of a 1% carbon tool steel. It also has a high grindability rating.
Annealing:
A-6 may be annealed in either a controlled atmosphere furnace or wrapped in stainless steel foil.Heat to 1350° to 1380°F and hold approximately one hour for each inch of thickness. Cool very slowly at a rate of 20° per hour to approximately 1000°F. Annealed hardness range is normally 212 to 235 Brinell.
