I am looking into setting up a salt bath for heat treating D2 and I'm having trouble finding a source for salt that can go over 1800. It may be because I'm new to this forum, but I can't find info on salt suppliers. Any guidance would be appreciated.
 
Everyone I know that uses salt only uses it for carbon steel. 1550° or less usually.
 
I was thinking about building myself a salt bath for stainless steel, but then I found out that for 1000 C + you basically need to use Barium Chloride which is toxic as fuck and nobody in Europe would sell/ allow me to even handle it. Shqxk, did this not cause any issues to you?
