Did Bill A offer a better alternative to S7? I have worked with S7 a little bit years ago for making shear blades for corrugated steel. Was nice to work with in terms of machining. If Cost was not a factor & or machining ease, A2 might me most preferred hardened to roughly 58 rockwell for a great mix of toughness & hardness. Would be interested in reading more on temperature effect on brittleness of various materials at various hardnesses.
Would also be interested on pro's & cons of meloniting the bolt.
