Al Massey Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 ...while drawing a soft temper on the back? I'm thinking of making a dotanuki styled blade (slightly wider/thicker katana style) from oil-quench patternwelded alloys (1084/L6 or 15N20) but using this paste on the edge while I draw additional temper on the blade back, so I get a back hardness in the 40's whilst maintaining a cutting edge in the high 50's. Sort of reverse hamon thing using the paste if you follow me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Madigan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 You might want to move this to Heat Treating and other Enigmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrod Miller Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I doubt that would work, as the metal will conduct the heat too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
