I've got a chunk of steel that I started working on and forgot about several years ago. Not a speck of rust on it from that scale that's left on it.

When I watched blacksmith videos, I always thought flakes are impurities that are leaving iron when forging

Steel can be almost 900f/480c and still look almost the same as when it’s cool. Always use your tongs.
