Hello,

Hardening and tempering of steel parts can be complex and critically important, particuarly when it comes to punching and cutting tooling.

However, I have performed tempering (Straw Colors on polished parts) by fixturing a steam iron upside down and gratually increasing the temperature settings until I got to the shade of straw desired. You could even heat a very small pizza at the same time. Caution, clear the use of the iron with your significant other.

Regards, Wolfgang
