Robert Mayo Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes it still needs to go through the heat treat process but it is not the same as simple carbon steel it should be heated in a heat treat furnace with controled temps. Do you know what type of steel it is? Every type has a different recipe for proper heat treat. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 If magnet will not stick to it it has not carbon and will not harden with heat treat. and the rest of what has been said above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
