Hardening & Tempering
What it does:
- Hardening involves heating steel above its critical point and rapidly quenching it to increase hardness and strength.
- Tempering follows hardening and involves reheating to a lower temperature to reduce brittleness while retaining strength and toughness.
Best suited for:
- Tool steels, wear-resistant machine parts
- Dies, cutting blades, spindles, shafts
Ideal if you’re looking for:
- High hardness and strength with controlled ductility
- A balance of wear resistance and toughness for demanding applications
