Just hoping to get some pointers on heat treating elmax.
I have an evenheat, and have done D2 and 440c. I just finished prepping my first elmax blade for HT, and wanted to gain insight from anyone experienced with this metal. I loved the way it grinds and sands, but I'm a little timid about the HT simply because the stuff is so expensive - a botched HT could be expensive!
So what recipies have worked well for you guys? Temps, soak times, cryos, etc...
Thank you
