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
