Revenido

Tempering is a low temperature heat treatment that is normally carried

out after a process of neutral tempering, double tempering, carburetion
in atmosphere, carbonitriding or induction hardening, in order to
achieve the desired hardness and strength ratio.
 Applications and materials
• Revenido at low temperature (160-300 ° C), which is used for the case-hardened components and
steels for cold working tools. Generally, the hardness requirement is around 60 HRC.
• Revenido of steel for springs (300-500 ° C), which is used in steel for springs or similar
applications. In general, the hardness requirement is around 45 HRC.
• Tempering at high temperature (500 ° C or higher) which is used for rapidly quenched and
quenched steels, steels for hot work tools and high speed steel. The hardness will vary between
300HB and 65HRC, depending on the material.
