13 mar 2013 · The relative amount of carbon in a piece of steel can be recognized fairly reliably by anyone with a grinding wheel or disk. By observing the shape of the sparks thrown when grinding, you can determine whether the steel will take complete hardening or will require a form of case hardening.
22 sie 2011 · I'm interested in trying case hardening but cannot get Kasenit or Cherry Red or any other specific case hardening compound (living overseas). In a how-to I found this receipe: 13 parts hardwood charcoal (barbecue charcoal)
23 sty 2021 · Testing a piece of free-cutting mild steel prior to restarting the 30 year old Whippet IC engine project. One heating to cherry red heat then running through the Kasenit = one pass. It achieves a...
5 kwi 2017 · For those that don't and who can stand a very shallow case, an old trick is to use sugar. Heat the part red hot, dip in sugar, preferably repeatedly, then quench. It won't give quite the hardness or depth, but it will harden the surface satisfactorily for many uses.
KASENIT INSTRUCTIONS For mild steel 1. Heat part uniformly to a bright red (approximately 1650 degrees F) 2. Dip or roll in compound to form a fused shell around area to be hardened. Re -heat to bright red 3. Quench immediately in cold water using a scrubbing action to ensure maximum cooling rate 4. To increase depth, repeat Step 2 before ...
13 lut 2012 · I'd like to harden it, and I have some Kasenit which I have used once before - but not where dimensional accuracy is important. Does anyone have much experience with this stuff? I'd be interested if anyone can tell me if my probable approach - make a sealed container, put the part in with the powder, and leave it in the woodstove all night - is ...
