Okay! I just did some testing and the coupons are in the oven right now at 400 F.
I took 2 of the coupons to bright orange, maybe a bit to hot, and quenched one i brine and one i canola oil. Both quenching mediums at room temperature.
Bouth coupons became extremely hard.

The 3rd coupon I gave a bevel at 40 grid, i made it very thin for the sake of the test. I took this to a bit above nonmagnetic but not as hot as the 2 other coupons. I quenched this in oil. I wanted to see if the edge would "bacon warp", crack or deform. No deformation and the edge is rock hard.

I will follow up after the "breakening"! :-)
