Something very common in the SR world is confusion, or misinformation about tempering/HT of steels. I have watched several videos now being narrated by someone in the SR community at a makers shop describing the HT process and he was way off in his interpretation of what goes on. Not a big deal as far as consumers go , but if you were researching processes (me) that is bad info.


EDIT
***** the saying "don't tell fish stories to the fish" comes to my mind here. Hahaa don't think I need to explain HT to you.
Im leaving my answer up for you to educate me here if I am wrong. Just saw your avatar after I replied and thought it looked familiar from the videos.

I am not sure what to say, I speak in the videos, as I understand the process. I feel pretty comfortable with my heat treating process and knowledge.

I am not sure where I am way off in my understanding of things, my thoughts and processes agree with the text that I have read, and the knowledge that has been passed on to me by other more knowledgeable teachers.

Life long learning is one of my core principles, teach me.
