Darren:
John looking at the chart you could well be right ..... wot do I  know  :doh:

It has that chromey look when machined, could very decorative ... would it be more rust resistant than ordinary steel.

Yeah I know the bar I have was well rusty, but it could have been outside for years for all I know ....  :ddb:
I have noticed the toolpost I made from the halfshaft is staying rust free so far while the fungus grows all around it ...

If you can't machine it:- you've got a scrap bar  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only joking

Try annealing a bit, get it to cherry red for a couple of minutes burry it in catty litter (make sure there are no catty deposits in it first:- pew) this will slow down the rate of cooling, next day see how it cuts.

Never tried the catty litter thing, but read about it, probably on here.

If you can get hold of lime this works for sure.

Hope this helps
