Through Hardening

Rapid quenching can produce stronger steel, throughout your critical parts.

Increased strength, inside and out.
Through hardening, also known as neutral hardening, is the process of strengthening a steel alloy using a rapid quench for increased hardness throughout the material. This process matches the carbon throughout the entire section of steel, as opposed to case hardening, which creates a hard outer layer while preserving a softer, more ductile core.

Through hardening applications
Through hardening is useful for applications where strength, hardness and wear-resistance are critical. It’s a process that’s used in a wide range of engineering applications, including:

* Seat frames and seat belt buckles
* Hand tools
* Parts that will need to sustain heavy loads during their service life, such nuts and bolts, brackets, chains, nails and     hooks
* Springs, axles, bearings, blades, scrapers and other miscellaneous components used in industry

Through hardening vs tempered steel

 

Through hardening typically consists of three steps:

Through hardened steel is sometimes referred to as “tempered steel,” but there’s a difference.
Tempering is simply the process of reheating a material following the initial heating and quenching to combat brittleness. While it’s conducted in many heat treating processes, it does not necessarily mean that an alloy has been through hardened.
 
Heating an alloy to alter its physical properties.

Rapid quench in a medium, such as oil, salt or caustic.

Reheating, or tempering, to eliminate excess brittleness from the treated alloy.
