Dark magenta colored Stainless Steel Heat treatment
Dark magenta colored Stainless Steel Heat treatment
(OP)
I have a couple of parts made of Stainless steel 403, the surface is dark magenta/Red color, I'm wondering what type of heat treatment/hardening process results in such a surface. Any hint is welcome.
Here's a picture of the parts:
