Bob,
I have no clue about flame hardening, but reading this thread made me wonder.
I assume using flame hardening in combination with boric acid is a bad thing because it interferes with the carbon absorption into the steel?

Thanx,
Peter

Our founder Nels has written a nice article on heat treatment. "Heat Treating (annealing/hardening/tempering) Metals". it's in the Beginners Forum.
