Magnacut third temper cycle

I tried to straighten out a warp on a magnacut blank in the second temper cycle and overcorrected a bit. I have to run the kiln again anyway for another batch and wanted to throw it in again for a third cycle to try to get out that annoying warp. I just wanted to ask if Magnacut is affected negatively when tempering a third time. I've done this with other simpler steels when fighting particularly stubborn warping, but never with Magnacut.

Thanks in advance.
 
Can Magnacut be straightened during tempering like regular carbon steels? I've never had any luck with AEB-L, which is the only stainless I've used so far.
 
A third temper is fine, nothing negative.

Thank you very much for the quick answer. Much appreciated :thumbsup:

I've just done it with Magnacut and it definitely worked. Like I said, I've overcorrected one piece a little bit, but managed to straighten another blank just fine in the second temper.
