yes depending on the reaction and the thickness of the wire. if it produces a chemical that will react with steel then no aslo if it is a vigerous reaction the heat energy may dissmantel the steel
Tempering Steel is the second stage or process performed on some steels it may have to go through, while it is being heat treated. Once some metals have been heated then quenched or AKA cooled quickly in air , oil or water it becomes hardened very hard this process is know as the Hardening process but also makes steel very brittle like glass to give that steel part its toughness back again the heat treat shop then tempers it after its been hardened this is known as the Tempering Process and takes out some of the hardness, but puts back some of the steel parts toughness so it becomes tougher and more resistant from cracking or braking into piece's when used. This is also known as Tempered Steel.
TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) steel is produced through a combination of heat treatment and mechanical processes, resulting in high tensile strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. In contrast, HYSD (High Yield Strength Deformed) steel is characterized by its high yield strength due to the deformation process it undergoes, which enhances its strength but may not provide the same level of ductility as TMT steel. TMT steel typically has a more uniform microstructure, while HYSD steel is known for its ribbed surface to improve bonding with concrete. Overall, TMT is often preferred for its superior properties in construction applications.
Elevated fibrinogen levels may be treated with niacin, flaxseed oil and garlic.
N690CO is an Austrian steel popular with many European knife makers, particularly for fixed blades. It is often compared favorably against 440C. Depending on heat treatment it may have equal or better wear resistance and toughness. Availability in the USA is limited, making it less common despite being highly regarded.
Hadfield manganese steel castings can be heat treated twice, but it is not common practice as the material becomes brittle with each heat treatment. If a second heat treatment is necessary, it is important to carefully control the temperature and process to minimize any negative effects on the material's mechanical properties.
Most of the cheaper stainless steel knives are made out of lower grade steel, softer than granite. They will dull quite quickly in that service. True knife steel, the 440 series MAY scratch the granite, depending on the quality, which one of the 440's its made out of and how it was heat treated.

Generally, any kind of steel is weldable and the grade 8.8 is no exception. It may take more heat to generate an arc on high grade steel.

You heat treat to improve the molecular structure of the steel. In the untreated state steel is very soft and is relatively easy to bend but when hardened the steel become very hard and brittle. The steel is so brittle after hardening that if say dropped on a concrete floor it may shatter. Tempering relieves some of this stress and makes the steel hard but not too hard.
Heat treating any diamond may enhance it, but also devalues it. Heat treating natural diamonds is common, and may include black diamonds. You can read more about the process of heat treating diamonds, below.
No, you could not describe it as an insulator, though it is less conductive than many other metals like copper, silver, and aluminum. You may be thinking of insulating flasks made of stainless steel. These work because they are double skinned, on the same principle as a thermos flask.
Steel has a heat capacity of about 0.49 kJ/kg/°C. Solid plastics have a heat capacity of about 1.67 kJ/kg/°C. It thus takes more energy to warm plastic 1 °C than to warm steel 1 °C. As to why steel has a higher heat capacity than plastic... It may be because plastics have more ability to absorb energy into the vibrational modes of the atoms in the long polymer chains than steel does in its fairly fixed crystaline/metal structure.
The heat number refers to a heat lot quantity of steel. This number follows the steel through the production process. Each heat lot is assigned a specific heat number and it is specific for the grade of steel and the production mill. The heat number is not specific to a certain size of steel. Many sizes could be rolled from the same heat number, but usually will have some sort of suffix added to the heat number (e.g. P78323-2 where P78323 may refer to M-4 high speed steel and 2 refers to the second size produced from that heat.) The next time that this grade and size is produced it will have a different heat number and suffix.
Steel conducts heat relatively well, so a steel box is of limited usefulness in keeping a drink cool. A Styrofoam box works better. Your refrigerator may have a steel shell, but it also has insulation packed between the layers of steel.
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.
