johnlewis Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Cool slowly no quench another way is to ramp heat down slowly if in a furnace then be soft as butter in a heatwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry931 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Cherry red is too hot. If you have gone that far you will have annealed the case head as well which is dangerous.
