I have an electric kiln that ramps up to a maximum of 1700 degrees fahrenheit. The recommended temperature for A2 austenitization is 1750 degrees. Can I adjust for the lower temperature some how in the annealing phase, and if not, will the difference in temperature significantly effect the Rockwell hardness? I am shooting for a target hardness of about 60. The blade I am working with measures 9" X 2" x 1/4". I would appreciate any advice, as this is my first experience with A2.
Thanks
