?
What is case hardening?
Case hardening is the process of hardening the skin of mild steel allowing metals to retain internal elastic properties
1 of 7
How is case hardening done?
Case Hardening: Heat to cherry red & dip in carbon powder, repeat x3
2 of 7
What is hardening & tempering done on?
Hardening & Tempering is only done on carbon steel
3 of 7
What does hardening & tempering do?
Hardening & Tempering increases hardness but makes it brittle. Tempering reduces brittleness
4 of 7
How is hardening & temerping done?
Hardening & Tempering: to heat to correct temperature. Quench immediately.

What does annealing do?
Annealing makes ferrous and non-ferrous metaks less brittle, softens metal and reduces stresses causes by cold working
