Q

Annealing

4

A

Heat and cool slowly
Reduces hardness
Removes residual stresses
Improve toughness

17
Q

Normalizing

3

A

Air cooled
Enhanced hardness
Less ductility

18
Q

Tempering

2nd Heating (lower temp) and cooled slowly
Reduces brittleness
Increased ductility and toughness
Relieves stresses

19
Q

Strengthening

A

Controls grain size

20
Q

Surface Hardening

3

A

Heat/cool or chemical bath
Improves wear resistance
Lower impact resistance and fatigue life
