I bought a new Evenheat KH18 with Genesis controller, solid state electronics and Bill Burke modification that should be delivered within a few weeks. My plan is to build a table to put it on that has a top layer of cement board. I'll also line part of the garage wall nearest the oven with the cement board.
I'm going to work with 1095 first. My plan is to test coupons 2 inches long starting with the schedule for 1095 on Kevin Cashen's website. I'll vary the temperature by 15 degrees each way and see how it snaps and what the grain size look like. I will be quenching in unheated parks 50.
I do have foil. Should I wrap all steels that go in the oven in foil? Is that a reasonable way to get started with a ht oven?
