Induction hardening is a process that involves heating the surface of a steel part to a high temperature using an induction coil. The part is then rapidly cooled, which increases the hardness of the surface. Induction hardening is often used to improve the wear resistance and fatigue strength of steel parts.
Tempering is a process that involves heating a steel part to a lower temperature after it has been quenched (rapidly cooled) from a high temperature. Tempering reduces the brittleness of the steel and improves its toughness.
Martempering/marquenching is a process that involves heating a steel part to a high temperature and then cooling it rapidly by immersing it in a bath of oil or water. This process is similar to quenching, but the cooling is more controlled, which reduces the risk of warping or distortion.
Austempering is a process that involves heating a steel part to a high temperature and then cooling it slowly in a furnace. This process creates a microstructure known as bainite, which is a combination of ferrite and cementite. Bainite has good strength and toughness properties, making it suitable for many applications.
Neutral hardening is a process that involves heating a steel part to a high temperature and then cooling it slowly in a furnace. This process creates a microstructure known as pearlite, which is a combination of ferrite and cementite. Pearlite has good strength and toughness properties, making it suitable for many applications.
