I have castings of 17-4 PH CRES that were passivated per AMS2700 Type 6 instead of Type 2. Could this cause any damage to the parts? Would it be okay to re-passivate per Type 2?
4130 steel per AMS-S-6758:
Condition D2 => D=normalized, 2=pickled or blast cleaned
Condition D4 => D=normalized, 4=cold finished (drawn)
Is condition D4 a stronger material because its cold worked? Or are the mechanical properties the same and the surface condition of the "4" is as-drawn...
