Precision Temperature Control for Optimal Performance

Our vacuum tempering services provide precise temperature control in a controlled atmosphere, ensuring optimal mechanical properties while maintaining surface quality. This process reduces brittleness and internal stresses in hardened steel components.

Perfect for achieving the ideal balance between hardness and toughness, our vacuum tempering process delivers consistent results for critical applications across various industries.

What Is Vacuum Tempering?

Controlled Atmosphere Heat Treatment

Vacuum tempering is performed after hardening to reduce brittleness and relieve internal stresses. The process involves heating hardened steel to a specific temperature below the critical point in a vacuum environment, then cooling it in a controlled manner.

This controlled process ensures:

• Reduced brittleness while maintaining hardness
• Improved toughness and impact resistance
• Stress relief without surface oxidation
• Precise temperature control and uniformity

Vacuum tempering is essential for components that require both hardness and toughness for demanding applications.
