Heat to 850-950oC, cool slowly. This will produce a hardness of 90-100 HB.
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to approx. 540oC, holding for 1-2 hours at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hot forming temperature: 1200-950oC.
Machinability of C15 steel is fairly good, especially in the cold drawn or cold worked condition. Based upon carbon steel AISI 1112 as a reference that is considered 100% machinable (easily machined) the C15 steel has a rating of 55%.
This is a plain carbon steel and has no corrosion resistance. It will rust unless protected.
C15 steel may be welded by all of the standard welding techniques. C15 is easily cold worked by traditional means. Following severe cold working a stress relief, or full, anneal should be performed.
