Need heat treating information.

[kenhills]

Hi all,

Well I took the plunge and bought a Paragon heat treating oven.Any one know where to go for heat treating information. I am trying to find a guide for temperatures for heating and tempering an assortment of steels. I know its out there but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Ken

asm heat treaters guide is pretty definitive, very expensive too.

Or for free you can look each one up on the manufacturers web site. Soak times will have to be adjusted for knife size thicknesses though.
