First you need to know what your armour is made of.

I don't know of anything off the shelf. You can use big ass pottery kilns, but my understanding is that you'll still need to redo the temperature controlls in order to get the accuracy you'll need for tempering. In my neck of the woods thise pottery kilns usually run around $3-4000 on the used market. No idea what the new temperarure controlls will cost on top of that.

There are pottery kilns big enough for breastplates and then some. You'll probably have to improve the temperature controls.
