conflicting info on normalizing


Recommended Posts

Hey guys i tried to post this in a topic i already had goin but after a few tries it wouldnt post thats why i am trying to see if i can make a new topic...i guess the site is acting funny again

so i am cunfused on one thing when you normalize and do 3 heats how far do you let it cool between each heat i thought you heat till non magnetic let it cool slowly in "still air" until its room temp then repete twice that is what i did but now i have been told that your suposed to heat till non magnetic then take out of the forge just for a second or 2 until the color leaves and as soon as it turns black it goes back in forge and the last heat is the only one that cools to room temp.......wich is right what i did or only leting it cool to black between heats? maybe both? what do you guys do?
