Triple Quench vs Single Face Off!

Can triple quenching reduce grain size over single quenching in 5160 steel? My microscope says yes. The value of triple quenching is hotly debated. Here, in admittedly less than scientific conditions, I compare triple quenching to single quenching and the effects of temperature control vs forgeside quenching on grain size in 5160 with surprising results. My own takeaway is that triple quenching can reduce grain size over single quenching and that tight temperature control in a heat treat oven is king, even in famously forgiving steels like 5160. More cracks, more warps, more stress with triple quenching? That could be true, this video does not examine those issues. This video is going to be heavily criticized and I understand why. You're on solid ground no matter what your response to it is. So don't go nuts!
