karkaistusmenetelmien
Karkaistusmenetelmät, known in English as hardening methods, refer to various industrial processes used to increase the hardness and strength of materials, particularly metals. These techniques typically involve controlled heating and cooling cycles to alter the material's microstructure. The primary goal is to achieve a desired combination of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance.
One common karkaistusmenetelmä is quenching. This involves heating the material to a specific temperature above its
Another method is tempering, which is often applied after quenching. Tempering involves reheating the hardened material
Case hardening is a surface hardening technique where only the outer layer of the material is hardened,
The selection of a specific karkaistusmenetelmä depends on the material type, its intended application, and the
