Response from Reynolds... Sorry if it is a bit small.

Thank you very much for getting in touch.

The tempering temperature of 531 is around 520°C so there is a small risk when stripping pain this way.

My personal recommendation would always be to media blast rather than torch. However, provided you keep the temperatures low and you don’t hold the torch there for very long. I wouldn’t expect you to run into any issues.

I hope this helps. Please do let me know if you have any other questions.

All the best,
