the steels I mentioned machine easily, they don't get hard until after heat treatment
How does one heat treat steel?
very carefully...not something you can do at home as you need a temp controlled forge. depending on the desired properties you need for the application you heat at a specific temp..1350degF + ... and hold at that temp for a given time then quench in oil, brine or forced air depending on type of steel..then temper to the specified temp.
