HEAT TREATMENT AND HARDNESS EXPRESSION
Heat Treatment
One of the ways to determine the hardness of steel is the heat treatment and it is classified to 3 types.
Heat Treatment
Quenching Normalizing Annealing
(Tempering)
5FNQFSBUVSF m$ 3BQJEMZ 2VFODIJOH 4MPXMZ 7FSZ4MPXMZ After heating to over 727°C, cool rapidly down Quenching makes steel hard because it cools down red-hot steel
m$ Quenching to 550°C in water or oil. very rapidly in water or oil, but it may promote internal stress.
(Tempering) In order to remove such internal stress, tempering is used.
(After cooled down once, reheat it to 200°C~600°C)
