Tempered steel is an iron alloy, it has the same amount of iron and carbon as conventional steel. Tempered steel offers a superior level of strength.
Overview of Tempered Steel
Tempered steel is steel that’s been treated with heat — below its melting point, which is around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit — and then cooled for the purpose of improving its physical properties. It’s used to increase the strength, hardness and roughness of steel. When steel is heated and cooled, its physical properties change.
Benefits of Tempered Steel
The primary benefit of tempered steel is increased strength. When steel is heated and cooled, it becomes stronger. As a result, it can withstand greater force without succumbing to deformation. Tempered steel is also more resistant to wear and tear.
Tempered vs Annealed Steel: What’s the Difference?
Both annealing and tempering involve heating and cooling steel to improve its physical properties. With that said, however, tempered steel isn’t the same as annealed steel. Annealing is a metalworking process that uses a slower and more controlled method of cooling, whereas tempering is a metalworking process that uses a faster and less-controlled method of cooling. With annealing, steel is heated to a specific temperature, after which it’s cooled slowly over a long period. Annealed steel has improved electrical conductivity than its tempered counterpart, but tempered steel offers superior strength and hardness.
ABOUT KEVA
Keva Casting is a professional casting company that focuses on Construction, Machinery, Automobile, Hardware, Pipeline and many other industries.
We provide top quality products with the best service based on our complete production chain including our own mold design, advanced production techniques, and full management of the supply chain. Keva Casting has two factories located in Zhucheng, China's Shandong province.
We use "shell molding", which is a new technique that has been developed in recent years.This new technique has simplified production procedures and reduced air pollution compared with traditional sand casting and investment casting. Shell making and core making are faster to ensure production in enormous quantities. The dimensions and surface finishing are satisfactory for all kinds of industrial requirements. Besides supplying our own formwork & scaffolding systems, our casting products also supply OEM services in various industries.
