Tempering |
| Back to Case study | |
| Tempering Lesson/Tutorial | Often a
metal is brought from a hot to a cool temperature very quickly
to produce desired qualities in the final product. A drastic change in temperature like this can make the metal
too brittle and weak to use safely. Tempering
means to heat the metal to a temperature for an amount of time that will
make the metal less brittle (more ductile) and much
tougher. |
