I haven't done any cryo yet, though now that I read that even a home freezer can have a slight effect I might have to start thinking about it a little more. I did have a couple questions though...

Tempering will cause the retained austenite to decompose to bainite or even pearlite.
Is there a way to force the retained austenite to bainite and be sure not to get pearlite without marquenching and making the whole thing bainite? I'm thinking a mix of martinsite and bainite might not be a bad thing on a heavy duty chopper.

The methods used by the individual I was talking with at first seemed odd, but the more I thought about it, the more sense he made.
Just purely being nosey, but what is this persons unusual method?
