Piggy backing on the off chance Tony sees this; Tony, you can avoid the heat treat scale by applying a thin 2mm coat of refractory clay to the parts. Specifically, Satanite clay works wonders. A more generic and less expensive, less effective clay is a high alumina clay like Kaolin clay. Mix either to a sour cream consistency with water and paint it onto the metal, allow to air dry. It should do the trick!

[@johnbirkholz994]

As an apprentice toolmaker, I currently spend a large chunk of my time at the surface grinder. A few take aways on trying (and often failing) to get that perfect flatness: -The dress on your wheel makes a huge difference, coarse vs fine -Taking the time and redressing the wheel for a finish pass or two of about .00025 (or .0001) will get you much cleaner results. -Learn to listen to the wheel and how it starts to sing/ring when it loads and needs redressing -Heat buildup and transfer into the parts of the size you are doing can easily result in expansion of up to .0005 even if you only do a few passes of a couple thousandths, really REALLY let things cool down to room temp before finishing if you want a super flat surface. More heat will will dissipate from the edges, leaving a temporary high spot in the middle which after grinding flat and then cooling, will contract into a low spot. -Mag chucks are strong, they will warp/suck down even a large part with even the slightest bow, and the flat surface you make on the top will spring back to less flat once you unchuck your part -Having a dead nuts true grinding vice is ESSENTiAL to easily attaining one really good flat side that you can then work from. -Lightly run a very hard very flat precision stone over your ground surfaces. This will make the highs shine, and really give you a visual on what the wheel is doing to your parts on a sub-visual level. I hope you read this ToT, I have left comments for you, Tom Lipton, and Adam Booth, who were INVALUABLE resources for a young buck getting into machining/toolmaking as a career. You all have a slightly different take on things and do slightly different work, and as an aggregate result this community is just an amazing resource.

Metallurgist here. Nice job overall on the presentation. We like to say, "there's 3 constants in life: death, taxes, and distortion during heat treatment." Good work on leaving the parts slightly oversize, as well as hanging them. "Covering surfaces" like you said doesn't really effect anything, but hanging certainly helps with distortion. We usually give a ballpark of around 0.0002-5"/inch of length for distortion. Your high heat selection was good, 1750F is about all you'd need for small parts like that. As parts get larger, they obviously get harder to quench. Contrary to what you'd think, bigger parts actually like it hotter. The transformation to martensite is driven by temperature DIFFERENCE, so a larger difference will help you get a deeper transformation One thing you might try is double tempering. Tempering "relaxes" the structure of the steel, and with A2/D2/D3 it's common practice to temper twice. 30 minutes per inch of thickness, minimum of 1 hour. A typical temper we would do for parts like those would be 450F for 60-90 min, fan cool, 400F for 60-90 min, fan cool. This second temper, being lower in temperature than the first, won't reduce the hardness but it WILL relieve more residual stress. I'm betting some of the dimensional issues you were fighting stemmed from the parts continuing to move during grinding.

I know nothing about heat treatment but I am a combustion chemist. Would adding an Argon trickle purge to the oven help with the scaling? Thinking of something easier than building a vacuum furnace.

[@ryanvandyke2675]

@@awashburn6944 you're correct in that each composition of steel has a martensite start temperature (Ms), but you still need enough energy or "driving force" to make the transformation happen (this is the ΔG of the transformation). 1040's Ms is about 660F. If you austenitize and then quench to 600F, will the entire part transform to martensite? No. Certain types of steel (and certain types of parts) liking higher or lower austenitizing temps (or called soaking temps) is another example of heat treating being a bit of "black magic." :)

Thanks for the entertaining video Tony. Got some tips to throw out... 1. It's possible to minimize the scaling by wrapping the parts in a Stainless Steel foil. They really do make a difference. Be careful, it's sharp. 2. High Alloy tool steels can be air quenched! There's enough alloying elements to keep the carbon from dissolving out of solution. 3. In my experience with wacky surface grinders and undressed magchucks... Mark the location you placed your part and take a grinding pass. Rotate the part around 180deg making sure to place it right back on location and take a pass without moving down the Z.

[@iwanogaref]

Hi Tony, congratulations on your new kitchen equipment! Here is a tip from housewife to housewife... To avoid to much oxidation on the surface of the parts I cover the parts with a sheet of soaking wet newspaper before putting them into the oven. After the water is evaporated the paper burns and a thin layer of ashes covers the part and protects the surface from oxidation.Greetings from Hamburg, Germany - Keep on Youtubing!!!

[@ringding1000]

While I can't comment on the accuracy of your grinder, when grinding hardened steels using coolant will increase your accuracy and finish. Dry grinding tends to not work as well due to the spot heat it can cause.

[@iepineapple]

I was going to comment this, but alas I was 2 hours too late. Very good info!

[@ghillieinthemist593]

Dry grinding is very possible, but sand wheels make it much harder. CBN can rough and finish while producing little heat. a 180 and a 300 can take rough heat treated parts to within 50 millionths tolerance

[@LUrbinati]

I would also add that the mag chuck pulls parts flat whilst grinding and then they spring when released. Going sub 1 tenth accuracy is achievable with a parallel clocked square and stuck down, butting the part up to it and grinding without it on. (Very twitchy but I used to do this to get to 5 parts flat/square)

[@ghillieinthemist593]

Liam Urbinati ultimately TOT just isn’t going to consistently get sub tenth tolerance with proper grinding fixtures. Precision ground 2nd and 3rd side blocks can take squaring material a tedious process to a streamlined one. Hope to see him make a set soon

[@zumbazumba1]

You people are mental with all that accuracy talk !Why da hell would he need something so accurate just to use it on a milling machine that will never be accurate as the parallels you ground to perfection .There are 3 measuring tolerances in a real world small workshop scenario-1.st it has to be accurate i better not fuck up 2.nd.meeeh its good enough and 3.rd. oh shit i fucked up! 90% of time 2nd tolerance is what you use!

[@mlucas-zn9un]

One thing I have done to help with the scale left on the heat treated parts is to place the parts you are going to heat treat into a pouch made of a heavy duty stainless steel foil, if you make the pouch properly it will be airtight. If you put some paper in the pouch with the part and then seal it up the paper will burn and use up all of the oxygen in the pouch. It’s not quite as good as heat treating in a vacuum, but it’s still basically an inert gas atmosphere within the pouch, so it works pretty well. You do need to buy the proper foil (I think a roll runs about 30$), as trying it with aluminum foil or a thinner foil will just result in the pouch melting or burning through, but it’s still a hell of a lot cheaper than a vacuum furnace is.

That specific time I messed up some of them, my foot knocked the threas to the outside of the hole. That was a horrible day, the only thing I could do to calm down was drill some square holes.

Hi Tony, I'm new to your channel and have probably watched dozens of your videos over the last two weeks. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone of them so far and although I've been in the trade for almost 50 years, one is never too old to still learn new tricks. I admire your skill to not only just perform your projects on your machines and equipment, but also your ability to keep your audience (at least in my case) entertained throughout the videos. Well done and keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next project ... !!

thanks TK!

[@Hui9697]

Hi Tony, hello from Scotland. Great video as usual. Keith Rucker posted a vid inside the last week (I think), where he was heat treating, he wrapped the steel in dedicated heat treating stainless foil and put a strip of paper in the wrap to burn and use up the oxygen. This helps prevent the scale you had problems with. Adam used the foil too but without the paper trick.

[@robertloesch7883]

Tony, I love your videos! I am an amateur machinist as well...very amateur. I have a very similar easy bake oven and a trick I discovered on the You tube (I shall not mention names as I don't want you to know who I am cheating on you with), is boric acid to reduce scale. (also known as ant and roach killer) I was very dubious at first but I tried it and sure enough the parts came out of quench with virtually no scale. So mix the boric acid with denatured alcohol and make a think slurry. Wrap your part in iron wire (also known as annealed steel wire at your local hardware store) and coat it in the slurry. Heat, quench and go. If there is residue left over, the part can be dropped in boiling water for a few and badda bing, borax is gone. It works amazing and its cheaper than a tank of argon. with that, again, I am an amateur so do your own research but I haven't found any negatives of doing it this way.

[@jamoore3192]

Dear ThisOldTony, I've had my fair shake in the heat treating world and picked up a few things that might help you out. Scale can be a pain in the butt to keep under control if you don't wanna shell out the clams for an oven with atmospheric purge. HOWEVER! You can go a long way with a few basic items from your local grocery store. If you wanna experiment, try this... Lay a reasonably sized piece of notebook paper (college ruled) over your part. Wrap said part and paper combo in think aluminum foil as tightly as possible. The objective is to reduce the amount of air space by the part and allow the paper to burn and reduce the oxygen level around the part as it austinizes. Cheers on the great content!

[@gordonfischer8484]

14:45 hey tony, the reason for the scrap part into the oil is often so that the oil heats up a little, lowering the viscosity, so that the vapor boarder is thinner when you quench your next parts. Hope that helped. Also for oil, you can use professional stuff like parks-50 or canola, both work ok. The temp of the parts is much more important than the oil.

When you see warnings on a heat treatment oven about only using it on a 20A fused circuit as it's 2,000 Watt, moments before realising that the electric kettle one has in the kitchen is a 3 kW model :)

[@LightCarver]

3kw kettle? Not in countries with 120v standard outlets.

[@fedorboendermaker1536]

@@LightCarver in Europe we have 230 Volt outlets

[@Evan-e-cent]

I guess you must have a fuse or circuit breaker in the kitchen that can handle a higher current. My kettle is 2200 Watts. For the other comments about voltage. The supply voltage really has nothing to do with this issue. With a 230-240 volt supply the circuit breakers may be 10 amps instead of the 20 A usually used when the voltage is 110 volts. The gauge of the house wiring is adjusted accordingly. In both cases the maximum wattage they can handle is about 2200 Watts: 110 volts times 20 amps is 2200 Watts and 230 volts x 10 amps is 2300 Watts. Having said that, special circuit breakers with 20A or 63A are provided in some circuits in my 230 volt home, and kitchen outlets may be designed for higher amperage.

[@jarrydlay5147]

Hey TOT, the easiest way to avoid your parts oxidising during heat treatment is to pre-warm them to 150-200 deg C. and "crumb" them in boric acid powder. It turns into a clear glassy coating in the oven and prevents the oxygen getting to your parts. Cleans up a breeze in boiling water after hardening. Try it... you'll be blown away!

[@spinracing]

At the mold making shop I work at, we use some thin stainless shim sheets.. cut em and fold them over to make an envelope when we heat treat the smaller mold cores. The stainless envelope keeps all the air off and no dunking etc. They come out room temp, and after opening no scale at all. Just need grinding to final fit.

Could you install a nitrogen purge system into your oven to reduce the oxidation on your parts?

[@Gunbudder]

Wouldn't you need to flow the gas for hours? So much gas...

[@waveoflight]

Then get the parts to the oil for tempering.

[@TheRedbeardpirate]

@@Gunbudder it should require a high flow rate at the start to purge the oven but after an initial purge the flow rate could be reduced to the leakage rate of the oven. It looks like it's sealed fairly well so the rate should remain low as long as the door stays closed.

[@TheRedbeardpirate]

@@waveoflight the idea isn't necessarily to eliminate oxidation but just limit it.

[@magnusvan]

Hey Tony! It is a bad idea to mount your hardened parts directly to the magnet plane when grinding the first side. This way, the magnet will pull the part flat, which will result in the part flexing back to its crooked state after removing it from the magnet. When i worked as a toolmaker, we used something we called zebra blocks. They look just like the magnet on your grinder. They allow you to bridge your part between two blocks, so that the magnet wont pull it out of its shape. Hope this makes sense :-)

[@Forensic1Man]

Great video!! If you read these comments I would like you to consider making a "screw plate"! I dropped mine on the concrete floor and it shattered! Now that you have an oven you could fabricate different screw plates and show us all how to use it on the lathe to thread metal and make threads. As a watchmaker, I would like to see you make a left handed and right handed screw plate for all sorts of projects that need custom screws and unique bolts.
