Right Greg - I should have, instead of saying "light" streak, said a streak of a different hue. .

The outside square represents the packing box. Surrounding the part is the packing media, which is an organic mixture of the makers own recipe. The drawing shows a theoretical cross section. There are three factors involved: Random, Variable, and Fixed. The Fixed factor is the part being heat treated. The variable factors are Time and Temperature The Random factor, almost entirely human, is the location of the part, in relation to the inside walls of the packing box, location of any other parts also in the box, and the density of the packing material. The entire part is held sufficiently long enough for the core of all sections to reach the same temperature. The quench process is where the magic occurs because the three areas of mass are cooling (from the center outwards) and while the quench media is still working at cooling A & C, B has gotten as low as the quench media will allow. Everything started at the same temperature, was ultimately soaked at the same temp, and eventually back down to the same temp. However, the rates at which they rose, and cooled was controlled by their mass. |

Edgar, we really should have known.

Looks like a Picasso... Nice job Edgar.
Thanks for putting the entire process into layman's terms for us. Your experience in the field of metals is invaluable to us. .

What a great thread you initiated, John.
And exemplary. It quickly brought in some valuable knowledge, original graphics, rare insights, and magnificent gun photos, all freely given, from some of the top mavens in the Parker gun community. Best of luck to you as you move forward in collecting such fine pieces as you are now considering.

Good call Brian. Makes sense that any difference in metal thickness would cause temperature fluctuations. |
