color temper chart

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of a place to buy a poster size temp chart for steel similar to the one on the back pages of the blacksmith premier? (I think it was the blacksmiths premier )

 

Thanks

Russell

Pacific Machinery & Tool Steel Company sent me one that had both incandescent heat and temper heat colors, but that was years ago. You might inquire.

Very nice chart, Steve.  Much better than most I've seen.  Thanks for posting.  :)

Thank you for posting that, it is now in my phone and will mean I do not have to dig out my old metalwork text book from school whenever I want to check the colour / temp relationship. :)

Steve,

 

   I would buy one if yall could get it printed. 

Thank you, I wonder if I should have made it larger than I did  on the book ?

 

Steve, a thought...since you now have a business relationship with your book publisher, maybe they could print up some poster sized charts at a reasonable price.

Publishers probably have all kinds of printing equipment available.  They probably don't just print books alone.

Here is a temper chart, and a incandescent chart, that i downloaded off of google a long time ago.They are not poster sized but you could print them off at a library that has a printer if you don't have one.

Reverse click the chart Steve posted and see what happens. I'd be willing to bet you can find a way to make the magic you seek happen.
