I'm freshly back from decimating an all-star crew of Q trolls on another thread. Now I must catch way up on the real thread. I understand there are new Q posts. Lemme check it out and I'll be right with you, FReeQs.

"Heat treating," it gets stronger!!
I'm headed off for more booze, then sleep. Long day and I'm getting slap happy.
Have one for me, then sleep well!

only true if it doesn[t exceed critical temps and then is allowed to cool to. establish the internal molecular structure. There are also then multiple zones where the structure has been effected, a transition zone, and an internal zone where it retains it’s original microstructure. Same is true of welds.
Steel heated becomes more malleable.
Steel over-heated will not retain load bearing capacity
Pinot Noir here...with steak kabobs of course, I’m thinking two hours and there’s no way I’m conscious...
Not while it’s still hot, cboldt. I also ran a gunshop for years. Heat treating required the right temperature and the right quenching. Only then is it stronger. While it’s hot, it’s softer and more malleable. So, no bandana.
Metallurgically, it’s the quenching and speed thereof, that strengthens metal.
