The best machinability for Alloy K-500 is in the annealed condition. It might be machined in the aged condition, however the favored practice is too unpleasant machine as near completion as could be expected under the circumstances in the annealed condition.
At that point aging and last machining might be finished. An extremely slight dimensional withdrawal happens after aging. Normally Alloy K-500 is in the strengthened condition, machines in a way like that of the austenitic (300 series) stainless steels.
