Hello. I'm looking for info about decarb. I used 80crv2 1525 quench in AAA. Temper at 375. I use atp anti scale and it's gray when I take it out of the quench. The atp flakes off in the quench. I sand it to 220 before I temper so I can see it turn straw color in my oven.
I then hand sand from 120 down to 600grit. Nice and shiney. Then I Soak it in vinegar to get a patina and it turns nice and grey but has some darker black areas.
Are those dark areas decarb and do I need to re hand sand?
I can't seem to figure out how to send a pic
Thanks
Greg
