Detroit Steel Tempering Service Discusses Benefits of Tempering Steel

DETROIT - June 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Hi-Tech Steel, a Detroit area steel tempering company, discusses the many advantages that steel tempering offers to steel tools.

The company first wants to define what steel tempering is. It is a heat treating process where the steel tool is heated to a low temperature. Then it cools slowly. Steel tempering is usually performed after the steel hardening process, and it helps to reduce some of the excess hardness that is a result of the heat treatment process.

The reason the extra step of steel tempering is performed is because after the steel has been heat treated, it is strong and hard, but it is also brittle. Steel tempering gets rid of this brittleness problem. Steel tempering makes the metal tougher but not as strong.

The steel tempering service also points out that this type of heat treatment process is often used in the automotive industry. There is a variety of car parts that are made out of steel, so the auto industry relies heavily on steel tempering to make sure these parts are strong and hard but not so brittle that they run the risk of breaking and causing damage.
