I've made up a part for the J&S which on the original would have been hardened steel. I've used W1 steel so it could be hardened but I'm concerned that the quenching process may distort the steel and while I can grind the outside, the inside is a 0MT bore - I have no way of touching that up if it needs it.
W1 is similar to a 1% carbon steel. In this application it would be sliding on greased cast iron. For the use I expect to put it to I'm moving to the position that I really don't need to harden it. (that's not to say that I may not remake it complete with hardening in the future)
Anyone have any thoughts, for or against?
