Then Lynn returned to the furnace and began the heat treatment and quenching.
Compared to the previous forging and shaping heating, this time the heating temperature needed to be more strictly controlled.
Without a thermometer, temperature control relied entirely on the experience of the blacksmiths, which was the core skill of blacksmith forging.
Only blacksmiths who can accurately control the temperature can become qualified blacksmiths.
When the armor plate was once again heated to the appropriate temperature, Lynn took it out and swiftly submerged it in the well water.
Bubbling~
The scant well water in the bucket immediately began to boil and emit steam.
The iron plate, after the quenching process, could increase the iron plate's hardness to become armor plates stitched into padded armor.
This was the most critical step in determining the performance of the armor plate.
After the armor plate was quenched, Lynn picked it out from the bucket.
