Patroy,
A magnet does stick, spark test has more spark than mild steel. It is flat bar 1.125x .250. When it breaks, it is a clean break. What happened to me was i forged a piece 2.5 ft long, forged the ends down to .5 round 6 in long. It Popped about 7 in on one end. Maybe i got it too hot and putting in on the weld table acted as a heat sink. Just my guess. I will try some more soon. Thanks everyone for the info
