A2, temper ideas
A2 is quite likely my favorite steel. I am curious about the temper used by others and wanted to see if anyone had developed a new high, low or what to temper A2.

A2 is good for plate quenching from 1750 F .400-500 F is good for tempering that will give good toughness and about 60-61 HRc. No magic that I know.
