  • How is a plane blade or chisel tempered?Well, it involved controlled flame and oil ... in our case, peanut oil. Watch as sharpening guru Ron Hock takes us through the steps - and colors - to temper steel.

    • @chrisjohnson4165

      You can't harden mild steel. You can case harden it by soaking at red heat in a carbon rich atmosphere, like graphite etc.

    Does the metal become brittle after this process? I have a spring that works essentially like a clothespin does, but the steel rod will break if you bend it back and forth a few times. There are different treatments, but I have no idea which is the right one.
    This process in the video might be it. Thanks!

      The metal becomes hard but brittle after the first dip, and then the second dip takes away the brittleness.

    • @kraptastic333
      @kraptastic333 Před 2 lety +3

      Spanners are heat treated during manufacture, using tightly controlled furnaces and time tested methods. This process is best for making custom tools or maintaining cutting/punching tools. Heating manufactured tools up could cause them to become unsafe or weak. I guess you could try it if you don't mind losing one spanner, but there are a lot of nuances even in quenching a piece of metal correctly. Good luck

      Gold. Steel and and bronze have the lowest heat conductivity while gold is near the top in metals. Also golds melting point is around 600F lower than steel.

    • @kraptastic333
      @kraptastic333 Před 2 lety +5

      Leave a thicker edge, as in, don't sharpen to your finished edge dim. This could encourage cracking. Oversize the edge thickness to 1/16 inch at minimum.
      Get it red hot, test with magnet, and quench it tip down in oil, peanut or avocado oil so there is less smoke. Don't wave the flat end of the cleaver into the oil or you will potentially warp or distort the cleaver shape, because of the pressure differential. Remove scale from the hardened piece with a wire wheel, then temper the edge as shown in the video, seeking the straw color. Finish grind cold and never let the material get hot enough to discolor or you will need to repeat the entire process to achieve hardness.

      @aaronstephens4212 Před 2 lety +1

      Generally a bad practice... But everything changes steel to steel.... With some you are right it doesn't truly hurt except it may add some additional stresses to the work piece although it would increase chance of crack or warp which can happen when your correct quenching medium is properly treated.... Others however the second quench would only reharden the piece.... It's always best to know your steel. Whether by reading about it, or testing it yourself.

      @petrov3000 Před rokem +1

      Excellent question. Who knows, lol.
      The core is very hot but also experiences such huge pressure. It may be solid or in a superionic state which is like a state in between solid and liquid. This state also has high electroconductivity. Perhaps that's another factor in a dynamo effect, where the different layers of the core could produce and build upon the total magnetic field. We don't know what the core is like exactly and are just starting to explore it better.
