Tempering is usually performed after hardening to reduce the excess hardness of only quenching/hardening. 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.
BENEFITS
- Reduces the stress after quenching
- Reduces the brittleness generated by only hardening/quenching
- Increases material toughness
- Precise control of the hardness level
