Hardening Process

Hardening is a one of the technique of Heat Treatment Process.

Use of this treatment process is to improve mechanical properties, hardness, durability.

Hardening process is usually use for steel material.

Working of Process:

Steel material is heated up to set temperature, then cooling it to rapidly by using water, oil or brine.

Most steel material is cooled by rapidly but some material can be air cooled.

Types of Hardening Process:

There are two types of hardening process.
  1. Case Hardening Process
  2. Flame Hardening Process

Difference Between : EN8 & MS Material

What is the difference between EN8 and MS material? Answer : EN 8  Material MS Material EN 8 material has higher tensile strength. MS material has comparatively low tensile strength. EN 8 material applicable when high strength required. MS material is applicable when high strength not required. EN 8 material contain 0.4% C MS material contain up to 0.25% C EN 8 material is use when other heat treatment process is carried out on it. MS material is use when no need of other heat treatment process on it. EN 8 material can use instead of MS material. MS material can not use instead of EN 8 material. Material is more expensive then MS. Material is less expensive then EN 8. Let me know if there is a addition of point or correction in any point.
