Hammer & HueSavant

Hey Hammer, ever wonder what shades the steel you forge actually sings in? I’ve been tracing the subtle blues and grays that appear when you heat it to different temperatures—each one seems to have its own whisper.

Yeah, every hue’s a signal. Blue means the steel’s near 800 °C, gray around 900 °C, white at 1,000 °C and up. It’s all about the iron oxide layer and how long you hold it. If you’re hunting a particular finish, keep a log and stick to the heat, not the fancy tricks. Simple, reliable, no room for error.
