I am looking for a good book for heat treating. I am a tool maker and am familar with hardening d-2, a-2, o-1. I just bought a heat treat furnace and had a piece of 6150 to harden. I am pretty sure it is oil hardening but at what temp and a draw temp with expected hardness. I would really like to find a good reference book. Any recomendations would sure be helpful. I looked on Amazon but without being able to breeze through the book i hate to spend the 200.00 bucks they wanted. A brief little reference would be nice. Thanks. Great Site!!
 
NOT SURE IF I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK BUT YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING USEFUL ON THEY DO A VERY GOOD SELECTION OF TOOLSTEELS AND I NOTICE THEY ARE PRINTING HEATTREAT DETAILS ON THEIR WEBSITE >LOTS OF LUCK .JAKE
 
Machinery's HandBook is always an excellent refrence and I believe they discuss Heat Treatment of various Steels
 
The American Society of Metals publishes a very good heat treating hand book. It is big, expensive, and only in print when they get enough orders. Mine took eight months to get for $150.00. It covers all carbon steel and stainless steel alloys.
