  • Tempering of steel forging parts

    Tempering of steel forging parts

    Tempering is a heat treatment process in which the workpiece is quenched and heated to a temperature below Ac1 (the starting temperature for pearlite to austenite transformation during heating), held for a certain period of time, and then cooled to room temperature. Tempering is generally followe...

  • Normalizing of the forging part

    Normalizing of the forging part

    Normalizing is a heat treatment that improves the toughness of steel. After heating the steel components to a temperature of 30-50 ℃ above the Ac3 temperature, hold them for a period of time and air cool them out of the furnace. The main characteristic is that the cooling rate is faster than anne...

  • Temper brittleness during forging and processing of forgings

    Temper brittleness during forging and processing of forgings

    Due to the presence of temper brittleness during forging and processing of forgings, the available tempering temperatures are limited. To prevent brittleness from increasing during tempering, it is necessary to avoid these two temperature ranges, which makes it difficult to adjust mechanical prop...
