As a friggin whistle, an air hardening steel would be dreamy. I'm just running thermal cycles right now, I'll quench with the anti-scale in oil.Nice. How clean does that steel come out of the foil, say compared to anti-scale compound?
They're looking good, John!The colors mean nothing at this point, they are just an effect from the cooldown periods during the thermal cycles. These aren't hardened and these are not temper colors. Just want to clear that up in case anyone was wondering.
The grey paint is anti-scale compound that will keep oxygen off of the steel at high temps to prevent, wait for it...... scale. It's water based and is best painted on warm steel. Scale is not an issue if it occurs, it's just extremely hard and is a pain in the ass to remove. That's just a quick rundown of what the grey stuff is and why we use anti-scale if anyone was wondering.
