- CONVENTIONAL TEMPERING -

Tempering is almost always required after hardening (both in an atmosphere furnace as well as in vacuum, as described further), to reduce the hardness (and brittleness) to a desirable level.

The expression “conventional tempering” is used here to differentiate the process from “vacuum tempering”.

BENEFITS

• Reduces the stress after quenching
• Reduces the brittleness generated by only hardening/quenching
• Increases material toughness
• Precise control of the hardness level
