Jan 17, 2004 · A popular method of "thermal cycling" is to do a normalize followed by "grain refinement" cycles followed by a subcritical anneal. That leads to a decrease in temperature …

Aug 20, 2004 · So it came up in a different thread that Aldos 1084 requires thermal cycling before the final HT quench. I was previously under the belief that 1084 was recommended for …

May 31, 2016 · Be VERY!!! carful thermal cycling simple carbon steels from NJSB. Some of there steels have harden ability issues and depending on what’s causing it more thermal cycling …

Jun 26, 2020 · However, after normalizing, it is a good idea to "thermal cycle" 3-4 times prior to hardening. Normalizing and thermal cycling are two different operations. Normalizing reduces …

Mar 26, 2012 · What is your most effective method to preparing the micro structure of 26C3 prior quenching? I usually do 1580F for 10 mins as normalizing Then 1450F for 15 mins air cool …

Jul 17, 2019 · This is the fourth or fifth piece of 52100 steel that has gone through thermal cycling in the same envelope, ordinary sheet metal with a thickness of 0.4 mm . Stainless heat …

Feb 17, 2015 · If not protected, all that thermal cycling will cause some decarb that needs to be ground off. (and can trick you into thinking it didn't harden properly) If I want to do normalizing …

Jul 9, 2012 · I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT TRIPLE QUENCH during the hardening but about including a quench during thermal cycling. For example, here is one recommended thermal …

Dec 5, 2021 · Some steels come normalized/annealed and won't need any thermal cycling/grain refinement when doing stock removal. If you're talking about cooling the blades with water …
