View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.AISI Type P4 is an alloy steel that develops exceptionally high strength which is retained at operating temperatures to 800 F. In the annealed condition (maximum Brinell hardness 135), cavities can be machined readily or produced by cold hobbing if the impressions are not too deep. Type P6 takes a high-luster finish if carburized to the proper surface carbon content; the maximum carbon content is 0.50% for the die-casting dies and 0.80-1.00% for molds for plastics.
