I've learned that hardening steel requires more than 'heat it and toss in water barrel'.
I have a .30 ammo can full of canola oil, it holds just about a gallon. I want to install a 110V water heater element and t'stat to get the oil to proper heat for quench. Is the volume enough or do I need a bigger tank? And, what temperatures should it be for 1095 and 01?
Thanks from me and all the friends and family getting my blades.
