Fabrication - Has to be completed using techniques that allow for a final harden and temper heat treatment, and for poor weldability.

Cold working - This technique is not recommended. It is suitable only for minor deformation. Cracking will occur with severe deformation.

Hot working - All hot work processes should be performed after uniform heating to 2100-2250°F (1149-1232°C). Hot working below 1700°F (927°C) could result in cracking.

Machinability - The metal provides excellent machinability. It has the highest of any commonly available stainless steels, at about 85% of that of a free-machining carbon steel. Machinability is best performed in sub-critical annealed condition.

Heat treatment - Full annealing by heating to 815-900°C for ½ hour per 25 mm of thickness. This is followed by cooling at 30°C/hour maximum to 600°C and air cooled.

Sub-critical annealing – The material is heated to 650-760°C and air cooled.
