Bladesmith;
Al I can truly say is that is all you know about heat-treating you most likely should not be doing it at all.
When you apply the Kasenote the part has to be heated above its critical temp. Upon quenching the base metal of high carbon will be put in its state of maximum hardness. Ordinarily, this would then be tempered or drawn to a state of approximately spring steel.
If this is done them the Kasenite hardness will be lost & of little effect. If it is not done then the base metal will be hard & brittle & apt to break.
Nuff Said
