Iron Bear Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I believe the critical temperature is 727 degrees Celsius, if I'm not mistaken. If one has an optical pyrometer (which I don't), one could measure the temperature from a safe distance. Also, a bit off the subject, the Verhoeven mentioned is the same one that validated the re-discovery of true Damascus steel techniques by Alfred Pendray. I read his papers on the studies and they were all very informative - recommend them to anyone who has the time/capabilities/equipment to attempt making true Damascus items vs. normal pattern-welded items.

Steve Sells Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Critical Temp also depends on the alloy we are using at the time, they are not all at the same temp for proper hardening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
