Press Quenching 01 Steel
As expected, the 3" x 2" x .25" Thick test piece did not fully harden.
Austenitizing temp was 1460F, soak time @ temp was 20 minutes. Pressed between two large, 2" thick Al plates @60F, in foil packet. As quenched hardness was Rc36 Sample was subsequently reheated at the same temp/cycle, and oil quenched to Rc63 to verify the steel type. If I had some thin stock, I would try it again, but, I think the results might be only slightly better. __________________ Stay Sharp, RJ Martin Knifemaker www.rjmartinknives.com |
