Never worked with 1084 before. Most of my experience has been with O1 and 15n20. My questions are: 1) in something like 1/8 stock, can I quench in oil or should I use brine?, 2) Is there enough manganese to through harden compared to something like O1? The last one is because I grin post heat treat to get away from issues of warpage. My research has shown that I should austenize at 1500F and temper at 400F for two hours. Tell me if there is anything wrong with this. Also, how long should I soak the steel at austenizing temps for? Thank you in advance for any help.
