Volume 4 has been organized into eight major sections: heat treating of steel, surface hardening of steel, heat-treating equipment, process and quality control considerations, heat treating of cast irons, heat treating of tool steels, heat treating of stainless steels and heat-resistant alloys, ...
Temperingis the process of reheating the steel leading to precipitation and spheroidisation of the carbides. The tempering temperature and time are generally controlled to effect the final properties required of the steel. The benefits resulting are the increase in the metaltoughnessand elongation. The...

Annealinginclude Solution Annealing andBright Annealing, the term denoting heat treatment that consists of heating to and holding at a suitable range of temperature followed by cooling at an appropriate rate, primarily for the softening of metallic materials. Generally, in plaincarbon steel, annealing ...
“forge heat treating.” My recommendations are a bit different than what I have seen in the past so I will briefly summarize them here. I recommend normalizing the steel only (no anneal), then heating to non-magnetic (no hotter than that) and quenching. The normalized pearlite structure ...

Toughness and edge retention are two major properties that conflict with each other in knife steel. Increasing one tends to decrease the other. So I like to plot the two properties against each other to get an idea of the performance category where a steel sits. For this chart I h...
Heat-reflecting windows work by treating ultraviolet (short-wavelength), visible, and infrared (long-wavelength) light in different ways. Broadly speaking, they reflect ultraviolet and infrared light but allow visible light to pass straight through: they reflect heat like mirrors but transmit light ...
Annealing is another common heat treating process for carbon steel components. During annealing, the component is heated slowly to an elevated temperature and held there for a longperiod of time, then cooled. The annealing process is done to obtain the following effects. ...
Pop’s Knife Supplycontacted me about doing a set of experiments on their 8670 steel. We talked about different heat treating variables we might test andJoey Berryof Pop’s heat treated and ground the coupons. I measured the hardness and toughness of each condition and I am providing the ana...
