MA0600 Kasenit $4.95
Casehardening compound for iron and steel. This is a process of hardening the surface of metal by forcing carbon into the steel surface with heat of over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is called the “Martensitic Structure.” Do this by heating the part to a nearly white hot color, dip it in the Kasenit powder which cools off the surface somewhat, then remove the object from the powder, reheat to a white hot ad quench it in water. Especially keen for hardening frizzens, tumblers and sears. Will not make spring steel. Will not leave the fine mottled blue but does give metal a pleasing gray color. Also fine for hardening cast hammers, lockplates and pans. 7 oz bag with directions is enough to do 500 sear or more. Non toxic. Heat small pieces with propane torch or over gas stove. Heat larger pieces with forge or acetylene torch.
