    Heat treatment is application specific. For machining it, you will not want to harden it (no quenching). May be you should specify what you are trying to do. Do you want to make die casting tool?

    Refer manual for the material.

    The heat treatment process known as Annealing can be used on steels to reduce strength or hardness thus making the steel easier to form and machine.

    If the steel is pre heat treated, post machining operations, cost and time can be reduced. It is not clear if your question refers to this option of pre-hardened free machining steel.
