arftist Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes. Hit harder, work hotter (near white heat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 work it from bright yellow down to bright red and then back in the forge. Work it any colder than that and It wants to crack on ya. Even at that heat it don't like to move too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Do you have a power hammer? If not be prepared for some SERIOUS work. SS has a narrow working range, takes longer to take a heat and loses heat faster than simple steel. It also fights you all the way. Darned pretty though.
