Picked up some W2 and 80crv2 from NJSB this weekend and I am not experianced in heat treating either. I have a heat treat oven so achieving accurate temperatures won't be an issue. I am just looking for what other guys are using for normalizing temperatures and austenizing temps. I am just trying to develop a good method for both steels rather quickly. Any help is much appreciated
 
Can’t believe nobody has responded to you yet. I would love to give you specific numbers for your oven but I have always heat treated 1084 by eye and magnet. I quench in Parks and then temper at 400-415 degrees for 2 one hour periods. I understand 80crv2 is very similar to 1080/1084 as far as heat treat goes. All will make excellent blades. Hope this helps!
