REX 42 or REX T15 Tool Steel Heat Treat Data 1

[rayband]

I'm looking for heat treat temps and property data to see if these tool steels can withstand a 900 deg. F coating treatment without destroying their RC 65-67 hardness. Where or from whom can I find property data?

We cycle both materials to 900/1000 F hundreds of times with no loss of physical properties. Some of the T-15 material is 30 years old with thousands of heat cycles and is in a very demanding service as gear pump shaft.

These two pages will lead you to all the information you will need.
