RWL34 heat treat for slip joint parts

[wkfl]

I received a small piece of RWL34 for slip joint blades and springs, but a mite bit confused how to heat treat it for the two pieces. I’ve read to treat it like this steel or that steel, but my results aren’t getting it. Ain’t got enough to continue cooking coupons, so I was wondering if any slip joint folks could share your method for heat treating RWL34 for the the blades and springs. Thank big time, Mike

Austinize both pieces at 1975
Temper spring at 1140 for 2 hours
Temper blade at 435 for 2 hours twice
Directly after cryo. Cold treatment is a Must.
