No, it was accurate. 500 is what I was tempering at.
I got the info from this chart:
Tempering Temperature | Rockwell
Hardness | |
[SUP]o[/SUP]C | [SUP]o[/SUP]F | HRC |
149 | 300 | 65 |
177 | 350 | 64-65 |
204 | 400 | 62-63 |
232 | 450 | 60-61 |
260 | 500 | 59-60 |
288 | 550 | 57-58 |
316 | 600 | 55-57 |
343 | 650 | 54-55 |
I want to get the most out of my blades but, I do understand mistakes will be made. There is an ENORMOUS amount of information out there and a great deal of it can be conflicting.
Hey Kevin, sincerely, thanks man.
I would love to run my recipe by you at some point. I have a great deal to learn and my skin is pretty thick. I could use the wisdom...
Take care man,
Mike P
