Sorry Seth.... Bainite on the brain, I guess...I'm a bit puzzled about why you'd think that you need an interrupted quench with a hold above Ms to get max transormation to martensite. Can you...
View ArticleRe: Marquenching
It is my understanding that a better "M" conversion is one of the reasons for marquenching, that and less stress. Maybe I was confusing the blade being tougher because of the semi self tempering...

Sorry guys. I kind of went to sleep on this issue because of the piddling I've been doing in the shop the past week. A word of warning about quenching in high temp oil, no matter what type it is. As I...

Max,After looking at the pictures on CKD, I think (like many said there) that your test blade actually tested quite well. The chips in the edge look like what I'd expect given what you did to it. For...
