In your case to keep it simple and safe, I would use an Argon gas purge to provide for a neutral or inert atmosphere for heating and cooling.

The spec for normalizing 4340 mod, requires a long cool down time in the oven. I need as little decarb as possible, without producing a *potentially* dangerous atmosphere. Also I might want to carburize a wee bit during hardening. Thanks again.
