    Super-Bainitic Steel

    The 'Super-Bainitic' class of steels (Fe-3Cr-W-V)have a combination of high strength and high toughness. Anyone have any ideas how to retain these properties when rolling down to very thin (~0.010") strip?

    Tempering XW41 Tool Steel

    Due to high alloy content, tool steels are generally very 'slow' reacting during thermal processing. Thus there is a relatively high proportion of retained austenite after hardening, and the double temper helps to convert this weak, soft constituent into hard, useful martensite. Terry

    Heat treating saw blade made of M2, or M4

    I've never heard of a successful local hardening technique for high speed steel. Even if you managed to reduce the hardness away from the edge, you wouldn't increase toughness / flexibility, which is what you're trying to do (I guess). Welded edge blades are the stock answer to this problem...
