Conventional or vacuum tempering is almost always required after hardening to reduce the hardness and brittleness to a desirable level. The temperature and the time of tempering yield the desired hardness level on a given material. The choice of tempering parameters depends on the material and the industrial application.
Vacuum tempering is also used on high-value products to produce a super-clean surface.
