Fine Tuning a Heat Treating Protocol

[scott kozub]

Was the 64-65 befor or after the first temper?

I could only hit 62 without temper after sub zero or cryo. Than after seeing on of your AEB'L posts, I dropped my temper temp from 450 to 300 and got it to 64 after the first tempter.

Your post was a big help for me there JT.

Don;t mean to hijack as the OP wasn't doing AEB-l

I had a high suspicion that’s what you where doing. lol
Just be carful and don’t assume all AEBL will respond that way. Some times you will get a batch that will be a few RC lower with no apparent reasion why. This is why we test EVERY single blade throughout every step.
