Title: Heat treat question
Post by: DC on July 04, 2020, 05:26:02 pm

Say I'm heating a board from one side. That side is 400° and the other side is 200°. Does it stand to reason that the very middle of the board will be 300°?

If that is your steady state condition, then I think you are correct and it is 300 in the middle. If the temps are not steady then it may not be correct.
