Bringing this from the dead .... Once case hardened, can it be tempered so that it is not so brittle or is this not necessary since only the surface is hardened? Chris |

No you don't normaly aneal a case hardend surface, when you case harden you only get a hard surface skin fraction of a mm thick. Case hardening is normaly done to improve the wearing properties and toughness of an item, its not used for cutting tools. Hope this helps Stew |

I have used Kasenit since 1962. It was safe for home use at least that far back. Only disappointment was that it will NOT do the nice colors as is found on some of the better shotguns. Joe |
