I bought some h13 a while back, Id like to know what I should expect from
it? I forged up a 1" wide chisel for hot slitting and ran it through a 1"
bar under the air hammer banging it through the hardy to finish off, used 1
heat for this, the chisel was pretty stuffed afterwards, the 2 corners were
pretty deformed from the heat and you couldnt use it again without reforging
and grinding. Is this what I should expect or was my heat treating off, all
I did was forge it, took mabey 3-4 heats then took it to about bright orange
heat and put it under the fan. I thought this stuff was meant to be tougher
than this.
