Most knife makers say something like this
soak at 1750-1850 10 minutes remove and air cool or oil quench. temper twice at 400 600 degrees f. RC 45-48
Making armor (sheet steel), we heat it to a orange, maybe a little yellow, and quench in oil, no temper.

What material is the better conductor of heat cold stainless steel ceramic or plastic?
The better conductor is stainless steel.
Do All stainless steel cooking pots discolor?
All stainless steel cooking pots do discolor but you can keep them looking shiny and new with a cheap cleanser called The Barkeeper's Friend.Yes, it is common for stainless steel cooking pots to discolor from the heat.
Why do they not make heat exchangers out of stainless steel to help deter corrosion and tube breakthrough?
Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers are produced and distributed by Triangle Tube Products . Although stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is also more expensive and has a lower coefficient of heat (transfers less heat) than other metals. So, like most things in life, it's a trade-off between co$t, performance, and longevity. Hope this helps ... If resistence to corrosion is the main priority, Titanium is used.
How to heat treat 440c stainless?
Heat treating of tool steel is a fairly simple process. Precautions must be taken to protect the tool steel from exposure to oxygen. Tool steels are susceptible to decarburization due to their relatively high heat treating temperature. Stress relieving of the tool steel may be necessary, especially if the tools are complex in design or have been heavily machined. Preheating may be required to reduce the chance of cracking or distortion. The tool steel is generally heat treated between 1500 and 2200F, depending on the grade of tool steel. The tool steel is held at the austenizing temperature longer enough for the elements to be dissolved into solution, then the tool steel is quenched. Quenching can be performed in air, water, oil or vacuum. The quenching medium is determined by the required quench rate and alloy content of the chosen grade. After quenching, the tool steel must be tempered. Tempering is usually perfromed between 350 and 1200F.
How do you stop Calphalon stainless steel pan from sticking?
use a little bit of oil or butter and use low heat
Does stainless steel reflect heat?
yes
What material is the better conductor of heat cold stainless steel ceramic or plastic?
The better conductor is stainless steel.
Why does a ceramic bowl keep soup hot longer than a stainless steel bowl?
Ceramic is an insulator, where stainless steel is a conductor of heat. Heat transfers more rapidly through stainless steel than through ceramic.
Why does 4 into 1 exhaust turn blue?
The exhaust is stainless steel. Heat causes stainless steel to turn blue.
What is the best conductor of heat a Aluminum b Copper c Stainless steel?
aluminum is the best, then copper then stainless steel
What boils water faster stainless steel or aluminum pans?
aluminum conducts heat better than stainless steel.
Is stainless steel a electrical and heat conduct?
Yes
Diffence between ferritic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel?
Ferritic stainless steel are magnetic, containing no nickel and not hardened by heat treatment. For example 409 and 430 stainless steel Martensitic stainless steel are also magnetic and containing no nickel but hardened by heat treatment. For example 410 and 420 stainless steel
Why are stainless steel usually provided with copper bottoms?
Copper is good conductor of heat as compare to stainless steel. Hence it (Copper) can heat early as compare to stainless steel. Thats why, use of utensils having copper bottoms requires less time for cooking.
Which steels are used in heat treatment and its components?
stainless steel
Are stainless steel ovens the best for insulating items in the oven?
Stainless steel ovens are great for insulation, as they can easily absorb plenty of heat.
Is the main element in steel?
Steel is almost all iron. It has a touch of carbon in it (to make the iron turn into steel) and can have bits of this and that to produce an alloy that is specific to a task. Some cobalt and heat treating will get it really hard and wear resistant. Add 11% or so of chromium and presto! you'll get stainless steel. Get the lowdown by using the link to our friends at Wikipedia. The science of steel is a broad and deeply involved topic from alloys to heat treating. Life as we know it would not be the same without steel.
