Just asked to quote some parts. Customer says material is 5797A. Part of a hammermill he says. Google draws a blank. None of my resources mention it. WTF is this stuff??

Yeah, perfectly legit to ask them for clarification, and for acceptable substitute materials if what they want isn't available without a mill run.
S7? Some other impact-rated tool steel? Something with high manganese?
Let us know what they say...
try sticking an 'AMS' prefix to make it a valid spec. then google has an answer. May not be the correct answer tho. Fancy stuff tho .... ~50% Co so let's hope there is a simpler, less expensive explanation.
I don't get any useful answers. Link to what you found?????
AMS5797A: Cobalt Alloy, Corrosion and Heat-Resistant, Covered Welding Electrodes, 51.5Co - 20Cr - 10Ni - 15W - SAE International
Looks like an overlay wire to me.
Is it possible they made a mistake and it is supposed to be hardfaced with 5797a?
I am going to eat my words, don't guess lol, but I bet it's probably low allow steel for strength, take a file to itDefinitely not wire. Part is about 2" by 4" by 3/4". Contoured OD with two 1 inch holes drilled thru.

If it's not the wire, then about the only possibility left is that it is an internal specification used by your customer or the OEM. Pretty much every metal material ever used by anyone will score at least a couple of hits on google, this one doesn't so I seriously doubt it is a standard material spec. Lots of our customers have their own internal material specification document codes that they put on their drawings instead of the actual material. The helpful ones will include that document in the RFQ/Order. Others you have to chase the right person to give it to you.
Trying to get clarification from customer. Have not had the part in hand, only seen a blurry picture of it.
