BENEFITS

  • Provides new desired properties

  • Reduce the risk of cracking

DISADVANTAGES

  • Provides an extra process for the heat treatment, which increases prices and delivery times.

  • All hardened steels must be tempered, with a few exceptions.

  • If the tempering does not take place in a vacuum oven, there will be a color change at degrees above 150-200 degrees.

TEMPERING

Tempering is a process that is usually performed according to some type of hardening method.

​

When you use some type of hardening method, you maximize certain types of properties that the method offers. This makes other characteristics less good.

​

The purpose of tempering as a post process is to change the properties of the material that are less good to become better.
