I just built a new quench tank for doing 1075, I'm going for hamons. I was quenching Damascus folder blades and small Damascus blades in a 4" vertical pipe with canola oil and haven't had any problems.
My new tank is 4" steel pipe also, 18" tall and will hold right about one gallon of Maxim 50.
my question is will there be enough volume of oil to get a proper quench on 1075?
my blades probably won't be over 10" in length with tang.
