Fixing our material as the previously used 1078 hot- rolled steel bar, and using forging as our shaping process: 1. What problems might be expected if the material on the striking face were too hard? Too soft? Consider each with respect to possible liability. 2. Describe some heat treatment processes or sequences that could be used to produce a quality product with the property variations described earlier. 3. Discuss the methods of heating, cooling or quench- ing, target temperatures, etc., that you are proposing to accomplish this task.
