Forging a metal scribe is a type of metalworking that consists of heating a piece of steel or wrought iron, at an appropriate temperature, above itsCarbon reduction point. The heat softens its grain structure, which affects its properties
Forging a metal scribe requires
1. Heating the metal to an appropriate temperature to cause it to deform plastically (to fold) and then cool quickly. This process is called annealing
2. Removing the carbon from the steel by heating it above its carbon reduction point (or softening), as described in step 1 above. This process is called carburizing
