AnlassenGlühen

AnlassenGlühen refers to a heat treatment process used on hardened steel. It is a tempering process designed to reduce the hardness and increase the toughness of the steel after it has been hardened by quenching. The process involves heating the steel to a specific temperature below its critical point and then holding it at that temperature for a predetermined time before cooling it. The exact temperature and time depend on the type of steel and the desired properties.

The primary goal of AnlassenGlühen is to relieve the internal stresses that are created during the hardening process, which can make the steel brittle. By carefully controlling the tempering temperature, metallurgists can achieve a balance between hardness and toughness. Higher tempering temperatures generally result in lower hardness but increased toughness, while lower temperatures retain more hardness but offer less improvement in toughness.

AnlassenGlühen is a critical step in the manufacturing of many steel components, including tools, springs, and machine parts. It allows for the creation of materials that are both strong enough to withstand high stresses and ductile enough to absorb impacts without fracturing. The process is essential for ensuring the durability and reliability of steel products in a wide range of applications. Proper execution of AnlassenGlühen requires precise control over temperature and time to achieve the intended mechanical properties.
