tempering: Verb, the adjustment of temper In ferrous metalurgy tempering is the reheating of steel to some temperature below the hardening temperature after hardening in order to reduce the brittleness which also reduces the hardness The tempering range for steel is from 350°F (177°C) to as high as 1350°F (732°C) It is recommended to temper almost all ferrous metals after hardening See heat treating In non-ferrous metals the temper (hardness) is adjusted by heat treating, aging or work hardening See references on specific metals for methods
tempering: When a blade is hardened, it is very brittle as it comes out of the quench, and if stuck on a hard object can actually shatter Tempering is a thermal heat-treatment where the blade is heated to a temperature below that which the blade was hardened at (usually between 350-500 degrees), and is held at this temperature for a predetermined length of time This reduces the hardness very slightly, but greatly reduces the brittleness and the amount of stress in the blade
tempering: The process of heating and cooling chocolate to a specific temperature causing the growth of stable crystals, resulting in the formation of hard, shiny chocolate
tempering: A heat treatment applied to ferrous products after hardening It consists of heating the steel to some temperature below the transformation range and holding for a suitable time at the temperature, followed by cooling at a suitable rate The object of tempering is to decrease hardness and increase toughness to produce the desired combination of mechanical properties
tempering: Heat-treating of metal alloys, particularly steel, to reduce brittleness and restore ductility. In tempering, steel is slowly heated to a temperature between 300 and 1,300 °F (150 and 700 °C), depending on desired properties, in an oil or salt bath and held for about two hours and then allowed to air cool. As steel is physically worked (e.g., rolling, wiredrawing, hammering), hardening takes place, and it grows progressively more brittle. Similarly, but more deliberately, heating and quenching increase hardness. Combined quench-and-temper heat-treating is applied at many different cooling rates, holding times, and temperatures and is a very important means of controlling the properties of steel
tempering: hardening something by heat treatment
tempering: Re-heating a quench-hardened or normalized ferrous alloy to a temperature below the transformation range and then cooling at any rate desired In heat treatment, re-heating hardened steel to some temperature below the A1 temperature for the purpose of decreasing hardness and/or increasing toughness

tempers: plural of , temper
tempers: third-person singular of temper
