  1. My understanding is that 80CrV2 is basically 1084, but obviously with some extra stuff. Apparently the added vanadium helps refine the grain size? If my heat treating is SUPER basic (heat a little past magnetic and quench in canola, temper in the oven) am I likely to see ANY difference between the two? My guess is no. If I switch to a real quenchant (Parks), how about then? For that matter, am I likely to see a difference with 1075?
  2. Hi all I was trying to do a spark test but got pretty similar results and was hoping I could get some help from the masters in the forum... So I found what I believe to be a piec of spring steel from a truck's suspension in the highway and brought it back to the shop and performed a spark test on it only to be more confused it. I've attached a video where you can see me performing the test. The first is 5160 steel The second is the steel I found on the highway The third is a piece of rebar. I would love to read your comments. Thanks! 20191207_130917.mp4
