Hello,
I'm new to the forum and am interested in low temp salt baths. I have a high temp salt bath, and would like to follow up with a low temp bath rather than oil. I have a gas burner and 4"x 18" stainless tube for a crucible and the Brownells salts. I've been reading that a temp of 400 is where the blades should be held. I'm working with 1095/L6 and O1/L6 pattern welded blades. I would like to solicit some help as to what temp to hold them and for how long. Most of the blades I make are chef oriented.
Thanks,
John Emmerling
