Spring temper on CPM 154

[tedinatl]

Hi everyone,

Can someone please share a good HT recipe for spring tempering CPM 154 for the spring on a small slippie? What is a good RHC to shoot for? Mid 40's?

Thanks!
Ted

Shoot for mid 40's. I spring temper at 1100 -1150 for 2 hrs twice.

One more question on this. Is there any benefit to cry treat the spring along with the blade?
