Hey guys, I was planning to forge a sword and i was wondering about tempering it. I'm gonna use 5160 spring steel. Which is a leaf spring i got right now. I was wondering if there were anyways of tempering it besides an oven or torch?

1525 to 1550F is what I recommend, there is quite a bit written about this in this section, read up and if you have more questions, ask away
