So what happens to different steel properties during heating, forging and cooling?
If we heat a horseshoe and forge a blade then cool it in peanut oil. Then grind it, sandbelt it, and buff it while dipping it in water to keep it cool during the grinding, sanding, and buffing.....does it still have the same properties as its horseshoe state?
So what if we did the same thing with (same process) with model A Ford leaf springs......or a farriers rasp. Do their properties return to their original state before we started? Or does it turn into a steel with less desirable hardness properties?
Forgive me if some of my terms are incorrect. Still learning! Basically wondering....like a horseshoe I beleive is mild steel from mild barstock. (I think, IDK) Maybe less desirable blade material than a farriers rasp.
So what I'm asking is if you heat and forge and quench both a horseshoe and a rasp is the rasp still more desirable at the end of the same process?
Thanks if ya have any input!!!!!!!!!!!
