just found out my brother, who is an aircraft mechanic, has access to a digitally regulated oven. So it time to take my HT to the next level. What is the ideal soak time and temp for this steel? thanks for the responses.

1475 F, no prolonged soak needed - just make sure it all gets to temp (say 10-15 mins).

Reference.
