Poor Man’s source for harden able steel, bed frames steel alloys is an interesting source, most of it can be found on garbage day or even better, moving day… I haven’t found much reliable information on this type of steel, there may be lots of categories available. You’ll need to be able to evaluate and ready to experiment in order to be able to use your finds for an intended purpose.
Here I’m showing how to harden and temper this alloy using simple methods like a torch, doing some sparks tests, evaluating the color in the hardening process as well as in the tempering process. To kind of quantify the experiments, I’ll use a Rockwell meter for different readings after the operations.
Hope this video serves you as a good source of info to help start experimenting with this type of inexpensive source of steel to realise some of your projects, please, take into account the warnings about welding this type of alloys, there is a real danger of failure if welded without proper advanced procedures and followed by proper control method.
