RE: does anyone know how to anneal the 4150-steel

One method for annealing 4150 is to heat to 830 C, furnace cool quickly, cool slowly from 745 C to 670 C (cooling rate = 8.5 C/hour) for 8.6 hours.  Another option is to heat to 830 C, cool quickly to 675 C and hold for 6 hours.

Here is the method that I use.

Heat to 1525F furnace cooled 20F per hour to 1190F, air cooled.
