One method I used in several shops I worked in is as follows. Obtain some 
iron chips. I have got mine from places that do brake drum turning. 
Completely cover the item to be heat treated with the iron chips. When the 
item comes out of the oven and cools down, just dig out the parts. This may 
not remove 100% of the oxide but you will find what does remain is 
relatively easy to remove.
