Thank you again gentlemen.

Bluesman, you are right about the amount of carbon in solution, I just didn't to go that deep into hardening but quenching otherwise nobody would answer with that many...

Gentlemen, you are right.
I was trying to figure out a way to quench a piece while trying to achieve same thermal conductivity of that liquid alloy with the piece of steel being quenched, but I...

To my understanding, aside from inclusions and cracks in steel, the reason blades get damaged on quenching isn't the reduction on size of the martensite crystals, while a millimeter next to it a...

By gentle, I mean the whole piece of steel would contain the same concentration of martensite/ferrite/perlite/bainite and any other formation. The damage on quench happens because the size of the...

Thank you for your answer, you appear to know about the process.
I've read about marquenching and salt baths. What I'm wondering about is, metals are excellent heat conductors by their nature, so,...

A question I have about quenching blades is, since water boils at 100C or so, and oils at 400-500C along with most waxes, when the steel, above critical temperature comes in contact with the...
