Jared Stier Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 See quenching into Jack Daniels, now that would be a waste, "Tennessee wetforging" however can be forgiven (late nighters at the fire and brimstone hammer in might remember that one!). I wonder if Guinness is a slower quench than bud light? actually i dont think it would be, because of the gaseous nature of the nitrogen Practice random acts of Viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I wonder if the vapor phase would be increased quenching into a carbonated water? Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) It is done with some knife blades -- in that case mainly to eliminate retained austenite, though. Not so much for stress relief, as far as I know, though that may be a good side effect. Cryo, Well, it's not, really to eliminate retained austenite but to continue making martensite with austenite that would be untransformed and retained at ambiant temp, most of the hi-carb steels have a Mf point (Martensite transformation finish temp) located far under ambiant temperature... If you can reach a -100°C, most of the hi-carb steels used in knifemaking would be fully martensitic -> No retained austenite, less brittle, and more martensite -> harder...

kb0fhp Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 liquid nitrogen is minus 196C but probably not much heat capacity Liquid nitrogen is a very slow quench because it goes right to vapor. creates a very long and stable vapor phase. The same would be said for alcohol - it would have a long vapor phase. Not a good idea. D.
