Aldo's Steel HT and Spheroidized Steel

[Willie71]

I agree. Since I obtained my heat treating oven, I've been using pretty much only 15N20 from Chuck at AKS and using your recipe. I feel like I'm in a good spot relying on Chucks steel and your testing. I'd feel better about expanding into other various steels if I had the ability to do my own testing and experimenting.
Since we are on the topic, a have the chance to pick up a pawnshop HR 150-A model Rockwell tester in the 500 dollar range. Doubt it has blocks or a manual. Think it's worth the gamble?

I’m not the best person to ask on this. Used testers are nearly impossible to find in Canada, so I’m not familiar with price/value.

15n20 performs a lot better than expected, doesn’t it?

It sure does. Although I already expected it to from reading about it here on the forum.
