Hi all,
I had a peculiar situation last evening while hardening a piece of 154cm. I believe I went to high on my temp- instead of going to 1850', I went to 1950'. The biggest problem I had was that the stainless envelope stuck fairly hard to the blade, although I did manage to get it off. Can anyone tell me what the overheating did to the steel, if anything? Also, I'm sure my Rockwell hardness is different now, so at what temp should I be tempering? Thanks guys.
