You can turn it off and on and regulate the temperature with a pyrometer inserted into a stainless steel tube sealed off on one end. After all we are just talking about keeping the 52100 at temperature for about 10 minutes instead of the 30 minutes to an hour that some of the "super steels" take. Just be aware that there is a lot that goes into making a molten salt pot that is safe to use. I understand that you will need a tapered stainless steel rod inserted into the molten salt as it solidifies so that when you heat it the next time the molten salt in the bottom of the pipe does blow out due to pressure against the solid salts above it.
I repeat myself: Learn about molten salt pots and how to build and operate them before you attempt one.
