There is no combing or brushing your hair at that length because your hair doesn’t have enough mass to keep it in a style the natural spring of your curl’s coil forces it back to how it wants to be.

@soggy5854 5 жыл бұрын

I know I'm late but most people put it in their oven (temperature depends on type of steel, a lot of people will say different temperatures.) You can also use a blow torch if you are careful. I guess you could use your forge too, just don't over heat it.

@rickwalker8241 3 жыл бұрын

You'll want to heat the blade back up to around 390-410. Most carbon high metals start getting pink or glowing at around 545-570. Also if the spine of the medal is sufficiently large you can oil quench the blade to right around a soft pink pull it out of the oil and let the residual heat stored in the spine temper the cutting edge. Quick summary: You need to know the steel you are working with. Quench the steel at around 650-900 degrees. That's right around the time the steel starts making a dim light in the red/pink range. Temper the steel in an oven, or in and out of the forge making sure not to let the steel turn pink. You'll want to keep or hold that temp for around 1-2 hours. If done right the blade should be around 53-58 hrc you can purchase a hand held hardness tester for $500-$3,000.

@@rickwalker8241 when quenching I get the metal almost yellow glowing… probably too hot for quenching?

@daw162 5 ай бұрын

@ianutube22 too hot unless you're dealing with a steel that soaks around 2k. If you're doing it in the open atmosphere, you need to get things hot and not too long. This video is a decent demonstration and the colors filmed are relatively accurate. If magnetism leaves at a mid red to your eye on plain steel, you need to get a little past that and then quench. How much past depends on the steel. Not much for 1084 and quite a bit more for 52100.

I think one of the things some viewers don't realize is the judges don't just pick these weapons out of some armory or their storage, they off-camera build the sample weapons they tell the contestants to build under the same conditions. And later they use the tests on the sample to judge the minimum needed to pass.

"Gasoline doesn't burn, it's the vapors." I wish movie makers would figure this out. Most of the time you throw a cigarette into gasoline on the ground it will just go out because the vapors disperse too fast to light. The only time this really works is when the gas is in a container where the vapors can't disperse quickly.

@FishTheJim 6 жыл бұрын

Hollywood is not interested in concepts of pyrotechnics or how firearms really work. A long time ago gasoline used to have a higher vapor pressure or that it evaporated quicker and therefor was much more combustible. Several concerns about safety and relative temperature changes have caused fuel companies to change this in their fuel making process. Gasoline is made and sold depending what temperature averages there will be in different areas of the world.

Real quenching oil and especially used motor oil have a bunch of beneficiary properties for things like carbon absorption and grain structure.

why, in the tv show, they quench for about 2 second then they extract the blade from the oil/water. Souldn't the blade be fully cool? Do they temper the blade after or they keep the full(over) hardness?

@GwyndolinOwO 4 жыл бұрын

when they do temper, they try to temper before quenching i think. Too much heat can return it back to its soft state. BUT some smiths do something called "blue backing" where they heat only the spine so the spine is soft (it can handle stress better that way). OR they can edge quench (the edge is hot enough to get hard while the spine isn't) as for the quench thing- My guess is that they are simply just in a hurry. you can let a knife cool a while in oil but it takes time, and a lot of the contestants like to grind on their knives a bit so they look nice when being judged on. (i'm not a smith, i just watch the show a bit, so don't take my knowledge as absolutely right)

Only some kind of steel can be hardened by checking with magnet. Steel becomes non-magnetic at Curie Point and it is 770 celsius degree. What about austenitization? It is time when structures of steel is starting to make proper crystal structure (avg 10min + 1,5min/1mm thickness of blade). After qenching steel must be tempered to reduce the stress in material.

There's oils available for order online for quenching. However, even used motor oil works. Water can cause knives to bend or even shatter upon quenching but that can happen in oil too. The trick is to make sure whatever you're using is heated up. Blacksmiths recommend using junk steel. Heat up your junk steel first, and dip it in your quench tank before your actual knife to get the oil or water to temperature.
