Were you asking me Thomas? I'd quench it using the 2" trash pump for a sluice method I described above. Frosty The Lucky.
February 17, 20215 yr Hi everyone. I just joined, this is my first post here. I know jack about jack but I have been around for a little while in various industries. I program industrial robots these days, btw. About re-hardening the anvil face, I am not going to say this would be easy, but perhaps more practical. But if you could get your hands on a sizable enough induction heater you could heat just the work face without heating up the entire thing such that handling it safely is another issue in itself. Induction heat the face to the right depth, then quench. Just putting in my two cents, now i am cents less. Any of you fine folks ever messed with induction heating or I committing blasphemy right now and about to be banned forever?
February 17, 20215 yr Depth will be an issue as will be quick cooling as old anvils have rather shallow hardening steels. Getting time on a system large enough will probably cost more than buying another anvil.
February 18, 20215 yr We have a section with induction forges included. It takes a lot more than that to get banned. https://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/66-induction-heating-oil-forges-etc/
