What I'm trying to naturalize in a rolling mold. This has a heavier cross section than a
gun part. Most gun part don't have heavy cross section, where as mine is nearly a
inch and half.
The light duty naturalizing process for gun part could be done at 500° F, I dought it would
make any impression on the rolling mold at all. So this means longer and higher temps.
To cut down on as much oxidation as possible. I'm going to wrap the part.
Next, I going to low ball the heating to 800° for the first try and see the results.
If it isn't soft enough to use carbides on then 1000° and up to 1200 if absolutely
necessary. I would prefer to simple leave the item longer at a lower temp.
This is a side project so I'm in no great rush to complete it. When I do, I'll pass on the
results.
Talk to ya later,
Jim
