Tempering

Tempering

A crucial heat treatment process known for enhancing the toughness of steel and reducing its brittleness is thermal softening. After the initial hardening phase, steel becomes extremely hard but also brittle. To address this, the process involves heating the steel to a temperature below its critical transformation point and holding it there for a specific duration — a method referred to as tempering.

This controlled heating not only reduces excess hardness but also relieves internal stresses that may have formed during the hardening process. As a result, the steel becomes tougher, more ductile, and better able to withstand impact and load-bearing applications. Additionally, the specific tempering temperature and duration are adjusted to meet the desired mechanical properties for the final application.

Tempering

What we do?

At Induction Equipment (SAET SpA Italy), we manufacture an advanced induction hardening and tempering machine that combines both processes into a single unit. One major advantage of induction tempering is that it saves space and reduces costs compared to traditional furnaces. Moreover, our machines guarantee 100% tempering in every complete cycle, ensuring that no part misses the tempering process. Furthermore, by using localized heating, we can target specific areas without needing a large furnace, which makes the entire process more efficient and cost-effective.
