Typical borosilicate bead annealing involves ramping from working temperature (1450-1500°F) to annealing temperature (960-1050°F), holding for 1-2 hours, then slow cooling at controlled rates to room temperature. The controller stores multiple programs, so you can save different cycles for various bead sizes and glass types (soft glass, borosilicate, dichroic work). The 8-inch chamber depth and even heat distribution ensure consistent annealing across all bead rods.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need an electrician, or does this plug into a standard outlet?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe BlueBird XL is available in both 120V and 240V configurations. The 120V model plugs into a standard household outlet, making it ideal for home studios and portability. The 240V model requires a dedicated circuit and electrician installation but offers faster heat-up times and more efficient operation for high-production environments.

The exact number depends on your rod length and spacing preferences, but the wide opening allows you to easily fit 8-12 standard bead mandrels simultaneously with proper spacing for even heat distribution. The double-door design eliminates the awkward maneuvering of single-door units and provides clear visibility of all rods during loading. This makes the BlueBird XL particularly valuable for seminar teachers who need to anneal students' work in batches or production artists working on multiple pieces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat color options are available for the BlueBird XL?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eParagon kilns typically come in a standard powder-coated steel finish.

The entire kiln weighs approximately 95 lbs, so each section weighs roughly 45-50 lbs. The compact footprint (14\" x 12.75\") allows both sections to fit in the backseat or trunk of most cars. The included steel stand disassembles for transport.

The 18-inch chamber depth accommodates everything from pocket knife blades to full-size chef's knives and machetes. For extremely high-alloy powder metallurgy steels requiring temperatures above 2100°F, verify your specific steel's heat treating requirements against the maximum 2350°F rating.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need a gas inlet port for atmosphere control?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe gas inlet port is optional but recommended for professional knifemakers concerned about surface oxidation and decarburization. It allows you to introduce nitrogen, argon, or other protective atmosphere gases during the hardening cycle, which is especially important for stainless steels and when you want to minimize post-heat-treat grinding. For basic heat treating of high-carbon steels where you'll grind the blade afterward, the standard configuration without atmosphere control works perfectly fine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard with the KM18?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM18 includes a digital programmable controller as standard equipment with adjustable temperature settings and basic ramp\/hold programming. This controller provides accurate temperature control for straightforward hardening and tempering cycles. For advanced knifemakers who want multi-segment programs, data logging, and touchscreen operation, the Genesis controller upgrade is available and provides significantly more programming flexibility for complex heat treating recipes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the KM18 compare to smaller knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM18's 18-inch chamber depth is the key differentiator—it handles full-size blades that won't fit in 12-inch or 14-inch models. If you're making large bowies, swords, machetes, or chef's knives over 14 inches, the KM18 is necessary. For makers focused on folders, small fixed blades, or EDC knives under 12 inches, a smaller model may be more economical and heat up faster. The KM18 also accommodates batch processing of multiple smaller blades simultaneously.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs this kiln covered under warranty if I buy from Peach State Pottery?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes.

This temperature range covers austenitizing temperatures for hardening as well as lower tempering ranges.

Smaller Paragon knife ovens offer similar temperature ranges and capabilities but with shorter chambers suited for standard knife lengths. The KM24 is ideal for makers who regularly work with longer blades or need higher production capacity in a single firing cycle.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eCan I purchase this oven through any dealer, and how does warranty work?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eParagon warranties are only valid when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery.

This temperature range covers the austenitizing temperatures for virtually all common knife-making alloys. For specialty stainless steels requiring atmosphere control, consider adding the optional gas inlet kit to prevent oxidation during heat treating.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need the gas inlet for atmosphere control?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe gas inlet is optional and depends on your steel types and desired finish. For most high-carbon steels, air atmosphere is sufficient since you'll grind away scale during finishing. For stainless steels or when you want to minimize decarburization and surface oxidation, the gas inlet allows you to introduce argon or nitrogen for a protective atmosphere. Many professional knife makers start without it and add it later as their production demands increase.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard with this oven?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM24 includes a digital programmable controller with ramp and hold capabilities, allowing you to set target temperatures and soak times for proper heat treating cycles.

This eliminates waiting for the oven to cool between cycles and can double your production capacity. Each chamber has its own controller, so they operate completely independently. For small batch or hobby knife makers, a single-chamber oven may be sufficient, but production bladesmiths benefit significantly from the dual-chamber configuration.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs Peach State Pottery an authorized Paragon dealer for warranty coverage?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes, Peach State Pottery is an authorized Paragon dealer.

This temperature range handles the austenitizing requirements for proper hardening. Most carbon steels harden between 1450-1550°F, tool steels between 1450-1850°F, and stainless steels between 1850-2050°F. The programmable controller lets you dial in the exact temperature for your specific steel alloy and hold the soak time needed for complete transformation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need the gas inlet port for atmosphere control?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe gas inlet port is optional but highly recommended for bladesmiths working with stainless steels or seeking bright finishes. Without atmosphere control, blades will form scale (oxidation) during heat treating which must be removed by grinding. Introducing an inert atmosphere like argon or nitrogen prevents oxidation and decarburization, resulting in cleaner blades with minimal surface cleanup. This is especially important for stainless steels like 440C or AEB-L which form heavy chromium oxide scale in air. Carbon steel makers often skip atmosphere control since they're grinding bevels post-heat-treat anyway, but it's essential for stainless or for makers wanting minimal stock removal.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard and can I upgrade it later?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM14 includes the Sentry Xpress 3 controller as standard equipment, which offers 12-segment programming sufficient for most heat treating cycles. You can program multi-step processes including preheat ramps, austenitizing soaks, and tempering cycles. The Genesis touchscreen is available as an upgrade either at time of purchase or retrofitted later—it adds expanded program storage (100 programs vs. 12), a color touchscreen interface, data logging, and graphical temperature curve display. Many knife makers start with the Sentry Xpress 3 and upgrade to Genesis once they're running production volumes and want to store dedicated programs for each steel type they use regularly.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the KM14 compare to other Paragon knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM14's 14-inch chamber depth accommodates blades up to 13 inches long, making it ideal for chef's knives, bowies, and large fixed blades. Paragon offers smaller models for shorter blades (folders, small EDC knives) and larger models for swords or production batching. The KM14 hits the sweet spot for custom knife makers working on full-size kitchen and hunting knives—it's large enough to heat treat multiple blades simultaneously or handle long chef's knives, but compact enough for a home workshop. The dual voltage option (120V\/240V) also makes it accessible for shops without dedicated 240V circuits, though 240V provides faster heating if you have it available.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhy buy from an authorized Paragon dealer?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eParagon's one-year warranty is only valid when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery, and you must register the oven within 30 days of delivery. Authorized dealers provide proper pre-delivery inspection, accurate electrical specifications for your installation, and technical support for heat treating questions specific to knife making. We help you determine the correct voltage configuration for your workshop, advise on atmosphere control options, and provide guidance on heat treating protocols for different steel alloys. Purchasing from unauthorized sources or used equipment voids the warranty and leaves you without factory support for an oven that's critical to your bladesmithing work.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-cta\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-title\"\u003eNot sure if the KM14 is the right heat treating oven for your knife making operation?\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-sub\"\u003eOur team can help you choose the right chamber size and voltage configuration for your blade lengths and workshop electrical service.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/pages\/contact-us\" class=\"d-cta-link\"\u003eTalk to an expert →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paragon","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":48584672018587,"sku":"KM14-BLUE","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Berry","offer_id":48584672051355,"sku":"KM14-BERRY","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sea Glass","offer_id":48584672084123,"sku":"KM14-SEAGLA","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":48584672116891,"sku":"KM14-NAVY","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Pink","offer_id":48584672149659,"sku":"KM14-HOTPIN","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turquoise","offer_id":48584672182427,"sku":"KM14-TURQUO","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jade","offer_id":48584672215195,"sku":"KM14-JADE","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48584672247963,"sku":"KM14-BLACK","price":3880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/7160\/9243\/files\/product-image-1_82cca558-b2ae-4c4f-9b01-3ed88f665e46.jpg?v=1778963158"},{"product_id":"paragon-knife-oven-km54-pro","title":"Paragon Knife Oven -

Argon or nitrogen atmosphere prevents scale formation but adds complexity and cost to your process.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard with the KM54 Pro?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM54 Pro includes Paragon's digital controller with programmable ramp and hold segments for heat treating cycles. You can program heating rates, soak times at target temperature, and controlled cooling—all critical for proper heat treating. The Genesis touchscreen upgrade offers a more intuitive color touchscreen interface, expanded program storage (200 programs vs. limited on standard controller), real-time graphing, and USB data export for documentation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the KM54 Pro compare to smaller Paragon knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM54 Pro's 54-inch chamber is designed for swords, long blades, and production knife makers who heat treat multiple pieces simultaneously. Paragon's smaller models (like the KM18 or KM27) have similar temperature capability and ceramic fiber construction but shorter chambers—suitable for pocket knives and kitchen knives up to about 12-14 inches. If you're making chef knives, hunting knives, or need to heat treat 4-6 blades at once, the KM54 gives you that capacity. For occasional small blade work, a shorter model saves money and bench space.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs the warranty valid if I buy from Peach State Pottery?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes—Peach State Pottery is an authorized Paragon dealer, so your one-year limited warranty from Paragon Industries is fully valid. You must register your oven within 30 days of delivery to activate warranty coverage. Purchasing from unauthorized resellers (eBay, Amazon third-party sellers, etc.) typically voids manufacturer warranties. As an authorized dealer, we can also provide technical support and coordinate any warranty service directly with Paragon if needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n

Paragon's smaller models work for pocket knives and short blades, while larger models accommodate production batches or long swords. The \"Pro\" designation indicates wall-mounted wavy elements and ceramic fiber construction for faster heat-up than brick-lined models.

This temperature is sufficient for proper austenitizing of common blade steels. Super-high alloy steels like S90V or Rex 121 requiring temperatures above 2350°F are not recommended. The ceramic fiber construction provides fast, even heating critical for proper hardening, and the gas inlet ports allow protective atmosphere to prevent decarburization on high-carbon steels.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need to use the gas inlet for protective atmosphere?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eGas inlet use depends on your steel type and finish requirements. High-carbon steels (1084, 1095, 5160) benefit significantly from protective atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent surface decarburization and scaling, resulting in cleaner blades with less grinding required. Stainless steels are more forgiving and can often be heat treated in air, though atmosphere still improves results. Many knifemakers use foil wrapping as an alternative to gas atmosphere for smaller batches. The KM-36 Pro includes gas inlet ports on both chambers as standard equipment, so you can add atmosphere capability later as your production demands increase.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard and what can it do?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM-36 Pro includes a multi-segment programmable digital controller as standard equipment. This controller allows you to program custom heat treating cycles with multiple ramp rates and hold times—essential for proper austenitizing soaks and controlled cooling. You can save programs for different steel types and recall them for consistent results. Each chamber has independent control, so you can run different programs simultaneously. For advanced features like touchscreen interface, USB data logging, and real-time temperature graphing, consider upgrading to the Genesis touchscreen controller.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the dual-chamber design compare to single-chamber knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM-36 Pro's dual-chamber design effectively doubles your production capacity compared to single-chamber models like the KM-18 or KM-27. More importantly, the independent chambers let you run different heat treating cycles simultaneously—for example, hardening blades in one chamber at 1950°F while tempering previously hardened blades in the other at 400°F. This workflow efficiency dramatically increases throughput for production knifemakers. Each 36-inch chamber accommodates multiple long blades or dozens of smaller knives. If you're primarily making shorter knives or have limited production volume, a single-chamber model may be more economical.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs Peach State Pottery an authorized Paragon dealer for warranty coverage?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes, Peach State Pottery is an authorized Paragon dealer.

This temperature range covers the hardening requirements for both simple carbon steels and complex stainless alloys.

However, if you're working with reactive stainless steels that require scale-free finishes or need to prevent decarburization on high-carbon blades, you can add an optional gas inlet port for argon or nitrogen atmosphere. Many knife makers achieve excellent results without atmosphere control by using anti-scale compounds or foil wrapping.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard and how does it work?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eEach chamber includes its own digital controller that allows you to set precise target temperatures and hold times. The controllers operate independently, so you can run different heat treat schedules simultaneously—for example, hardening at 2000°F in one chamber while tempering at 400°F in the other. The rapid heating ceramic fiber construction means you reach set temperatures quickly, reducing wait time between cycles.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the KM18 Pro compare to single-chamber knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe dual-chamber design doubles your production capacity and workflow efficiency. You can process two batches simultaneously at different temperatures, or dedicate one chamber to hardening and one to tempering for streamlined production. The 18-inch chamber length accommodates full-size blades and swords, while the independent controls give you flexibility that single-chamber ovens can't match.

The temperature range covers both hardening (typically 1450-2100°F depending on alloy) and tempering cycles (300-1000°F). For high-speed steels and some exotic alloys requiring temperatures above 2200°F, verify your specific steel's austenitizing temperature falls within the oven's range. The gas inlet ports allow connection of argon or nitrogen atmosphere systems to prevent oxidation during hardening of reactive steels.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need to add a gas atmosphere system, or can I heat treat in air?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eMany carbon steels can be successfully heat treated in air atmosphere for forged blades that will be ground post-hardening, though some surface scaling and decarburization will occur. For stock removal blades with finished grinds, stainless steels, or when minimal scale is critical, connecting an inert gas system (argon or nitrogen) to the inlet ports creates a protective atmosphere that prevents oxidation and decarburization. The inlet ports come standard on the KM18; the external gas delivery system and regulators are purchased separately based on your quality requirements and production volume.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard, and can I program custom heat treating cycles?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM18 includes a digital programmable controller with basic ramp-hold-cool programming suitable for standard hardening and tempering cycles. You can set target temperatures, ramp rates, and soak times for typical two-step heat treating (austenitizing followed by tempering). For more complex metallurgy requiring multi-step thermal cycles, precise ramp control, or data logging for quality documentation, the Genesis touchscreen upgrade provides advanced programming with up to 250 stored profiles and USB export capability.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the double barrel design compare to single chamber knife ovens?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe double barrel configuration essentially gives you two independent 18-inch ovens in a single unit, allowing you to run different heat treating cycles simultaneously—for example, hardening one batch while tempering another, or processing two different steel types at their respective austenitizing temperatures. This doubles production capacity compared to the single-barrel KM18S while using less floor space and often lower per-piece energy cost than running two separate ovens. Each chamber operates independently with separate heating elements and temperature control.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs this oven backed by a manufacturer warranty when purchased through Peach State Pottery?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes. The KM18 includes Paragon's one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. You must register your oven within 30 days of delivery to activate warranty coverage. Purchasing through unauthorized resellers or used markets typically voids manufacturer warranty.

Introducing protective atmosphere gases (like argon or nitrogen) during heat treating prevents surface oxidation and decarburization, which can compromise blade hardness and edge retention. If you're heat treating high-performance blades or working with steels sensitive to oxygen exposure, the atmosphere control upgrade is worth considering. For basic heat treating with post-grinding cleanup, the standard oven works fine.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat controller comes standard with the KM24 Pro?\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe KM24 Pro includes a digital programmable controller that allows you to set precise temperature ramp rates, hold times, and multi-step programs.

If you choose 120V, you may be able to use a standard household outlet depending on the amperage draw (check your circuit capacity). For 240V operation, you'll need a licensed electrician to install the appropriate circuit and receptacle.

High-alloy stainless steels requiring temperatures above 2000°F (like S30V, S35VN, or CPM steels) can be hardened, though you may need atmosphere control for optimal results. Carbon and low-alloy steels that harden between 1450-1550°F are ideal for this oven.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need a gas inlet for atmosphere control?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eMost carbon steel heat treating can be done successfully in an air atmosphere without gas inlet. However, if you work with high-alloy stainless steels or want to minimize decarburization and scale formation on any steel, adding an optional gas inlet port for inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) or reducing atmosphere gives you better control over surface finish and edge retention.

The fiber insulation also cools faster, allowing you to run more heat treating cycles per day.
