    frosty' i just had a piece tested and have the results, what specifics do you need to know? The sheet just gives me 2 letter abrevs., i'll guess some carbon is .391, manganese is 1.135, cromium .025, nickel .185, vanadium .028 that's about a third of the values. The billets are coming out of the furnace 1970 deg after soaking for about 90 min.

    Hey all, i am attempting to harden my homemade anvil right now. I work in steel mill so i put it in the furnace about 30 minutes ago. I'm guessing it weighs about 100 lbs. and I think it's what we in the rebar buisiness call #60 grade steel. Once the temp is right I'll pull it out and throw it in the flume full of running water. My question is what is the right temp?

    Hey YALL, I guess its been a couple of weeks now that I've been watching this site and I love it. I work as a millwright in a steel mill (we make rebar out of scrap so I've got access to all the material that I can fit in my lunch box) so working with red steel sounds fun to me.
