[TheForge] Jackhammer bits

[JOHN CHOBRDA]

Don:
	Most of the bits I was reforging while I was in Trenton were S-6
or S-7, some you will run across are a proprietary steel called 
Delsteel Alloy, which is very similar to S-5. These were made by an outfit
that just closed last year, Delsteel just south of Philly. I was at the
auction, some big Bradley's that went for less than $300 ea.

While in the process of scrapping out this week I came across a couple 
hundred pounds of 1" to 1-1/4" jack hammer bits. Could anyone tell me what
steel 
they are probably shaped from?  I will offer them up at some upcoming
affiliate 
meets but would like to forge and temper one first. 

Also found quite a few 2" x 6" track pins from a bulldozer. Any ideas what 
that alloy might be?

Kindest thanks for any advice.
