Just wanted to let you know that when Lyle Hendricks converted my airfoil 

shaped spring / shock nose gear strut to a round tube that it was heat 

treated on 11/14/01.



It went through: Normalize at 1650 degrees; Autenitie** at 1575 degrees; and 

Temper at 1050 degrees. Rockwell C hardness was 28-31.



Please see the attached picture.

gather and understand knowledge."



**PS: My knowledge of heat treatment is pretty limited. This term may really 

be austenite as austenitie is something fairly exotic. Maybe Lyle can 

clarify this.
