Tempering (350°F - 1250°F)

At Pittsburgh Metal Processing Co, metal tempering is one of our tried-and-true methods of heat treatments of metal. You can trust in our decades of experience to get the job done right and in an efficient time frame.

This treatment follows a quenching or air cooling operation. Tempering is generally considered effective in relieving stresses induced by quenching in addition to lowering hardness to within a specified range, or meeting certain mechanical property requirements.
