minus-square@BastingChemina@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink7•8 months agoI don’t know if we can call it chemistry but quenching steel. In high school I was doing blacksmithing and so quenching the blade was part of the process, probably my favorite part. Heating the blade above 800°C and dipping it in oil, with the oil instantly catching fire was always very dramatic.

Fire is chemistry.
