Quenching & Tempering for Carbon & Alloy Steel Bar
Steel is austenitized and quenched at a controlled rate to develop hardness, then tempered to establish the required balance of tensile strength, yield strength, toughness, and ductility.
Grade, section size, hardenability, quench medium, straightness, test location, and final property range all affect the treatment plan.
Process Benefits
- Specified strength and hardness range
- Controlled toughness and ductility
- Through-section property development
- Improved wear and fatigue performance
Common Applications
- Gears and shafts
- Axles and pins
- Heavy-equipment components
- High-load machine parts
The process route is determined by the starting grade and condition, section size, finished dimensions or mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, quantity, and governing specification.
