Thanks for all the comments Thomas Powers and Timgunn1962 The guy who did the analysis for my son works for a company that makes portable analysis units for the scrap industry. Perhaps I am overthinking this. Absent this very sophisticated analysis I would have forged the hammer shape, heated it to non magnetic and quenched it in oil. Thanks for sharing your expertise

Sorry about the size of the screen shot that was the only way I could get all the data into the pic. I'll have to go back and ask about the carbon content.

I attached a screen shot of the report you will notice two samples were tested. The first one ( Csteel) is large enough to easily forge into a rounding hammer. i appreciate any help you can provide Karl

Thanks for the speedy reply i checked ASM and the term doesn't appear. Here is a copy of what I received. I asked for two samples to be tested . The second one is familiar, but I wanted to use the other piece as it is much larger. Many help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Karl

Got a nice hexagonal piece of steel that was tested and came back as LA C steel ( thanks to my son the engineer) . The detail analysis shows the largest concentration ( .0751) of Chromium. I would like to forge some of it into a rounding hammer as well as a punch. My plan would be to heat it to lemon yellow, forge it and then quench it in oil? Thanks
