BASICS OF HEAT TREATING: MARTEMPERING: This article, adapted from the latest ASM Handbook on quenching and quenchants, describes suitable steels and variables that influence martempering.
- Abstract
The article focuses on martempering, a heat treating process for steel that involves cooling it to just above the martensite start temperature in a specially formulated oil or molten salt bath to minimize residual stress and potential cracking, particularly addressing distortion problems encountered during conventional quenching and influenced by factors such as steel composition, part geometry, and quenchant conditions.
