Just curious what this achieves. And what does it mean. To harden the whole frame so it has higher tensile strength, they even somewhat gave up on that with 953. I just don't see what they are doing here. It is a non-trivial task to fully heat treat a steel frame. To do an aluminum, that is close to powder coating temp, but steel... Serious gear required, lots of problems.
