Can you machinibility harden to 36 Hrc ?
As received from the material supplier the material is to soft.

RE: Maraging 300
Thanks for your reply
However let me clarify what I am after.
I am interested for a Intermediate Heat treat prior to machining.
Can this material be age then temper any hardness like standard age harden stainless steels.
Then reheat treated for final hardness
This material is soft and tuff and is hard to machine
I want to machine ability harden for machining.
Most materials in the Normalized or/and annealed condition does not machine well because is to soft & gummy, does not lend itself to machine well.

This question was never answered does any one know?

We use this material to make high precision dies, lot of very small holes and I can't recall ever hearing any comments on machining difficulties.
You might give Allvac a call.

well then I am stuck, there are 2 parts, which are made for aircraft. qty of 100 ea with 5 & 6 diametral pitch gears which can only be shaped, it's killing the cutters.
I under estimated this materials toughness.
Turning & Milling is tough but manageable.
Gear shaping is an other issue.
, I will have to research further for better tooling.
Thanks

I can't give you a good answer.
These are my customers parts which are Design, Material & Stess Engineers. I can tell you this it's been flying.

we are contracted to manufacture them.
the gears are nitrided.
