How Is Quenched And Tempered Steel Made?

After an iron-based alloy such as steel is created, the metal is often very brittle after its initial hardening. While this might be suited for some applications, further processing might be needed for applications that require a ‘tougher’ alloy, or one that can withstand regular wear and tear. Tempering and…
