I recently built a HT oven. I built it so I can move into some other steels besides the 10XX tool steels. Plus it will take alot of the guess work out of heat treating.
I would like to grind some blades from 440c for starters. I will be using the plate quench method when they come out of the oven. My question is is stainless steel heat treat wrap an absolute must? What are the draw backs of not using it. If my thinking is right it would only be more scale build up with out the foil.
Thanks guys. Dave
