[TheForge] heat treating

Hey Don.
Order a copy of "HEAT TREATMENT, SELECTION,AND APPLICATION OF TOOL STEELS"
by Bill Bryson from Norm Larson. It costs about $35 in paper back, and is
excellent.

> I'm still trying to learn a little more about heat treating. There is a
set of books I've learned about called the Heat Treater's Guide. One book
for iron and steel, one for nonferrous metals, and one that looks like a
primer for the other two. The problem is that I was stunned by the price of
these books. New they run almost $250 each. I 've found the Iron and Steel
book (the one I probably need) used in a Houston bookshop for $150, and one
recently sold on Ebay for about $125.

there is a decent reference for an amature to learn the basics of heat
treating that won't break the bank. Any suggestions?
