O1 question

[Kev]

I am all setup and ready to start testing my heat treat process for O1. Quick question though. Can I/should I wrap the blades in SS foil? I can’t search O1 here because it’s too short, go figure. I was just thinking if I could avoid issues with scale I would.

You can probably wrap in foil for thermal cycling but I wouldn't for the actual quench. Some sort of anti scale coating might be better.

I have coated 1084 with a thin wash of satinate with good results
