Quenched & Tempered Steels
Alloy steels that gain high strength and toughness through quenching and tempering.
Steel & Raw Materials
Quenched & Tempered Steels
Quenched and tempered steels combine high tensile strength with high toughness through hardening followed by tempering. Chromium, molybdenum and nickel additions ensure uniform hardening even in heavy sections.
They are ideal for crankshafts, axles, bolts, gears and hydraulic parts working under dynamic and impact loads. Available annealed or quenched & tempered.
