Quench fail. What now?
Hi all
I just tried hardening my first o1 blade. The quench didnt go as planner. I tried using a gas roof burner, but it turned out to be pretty difficult to control and it didnt burner as hot as I imagined. After the quench part of the blade didnt harden. I usually use charcoal and hairdryer, which aparently burns hotter. What do I do now? Can i just tak it to quenching temperaturen and try again or should i normalise it a few times first? What Will the end result be because of This mistake? Will i feel Any difference in the over All heat treat when its just backyard hardened? |
