If it is silver steel, get it carrot red in sudued light for some 30 secs. then drop into cold water. Most of it is water hardening.

Guage plate is usually oil-dunked IIRC

Then run a file on it. If it skids you're there, except it will most likely be quite weak and brittle, so you will have to temper it to suit whatever intend to do with it.

If it's a long thin item where distortion might matter, dunk it vertically to minimise warping.

Like BC, I go for carrots, which are all pretty much the same colour, whereas cherries come in different shades.
