Electric Tempering Furnace

A tempering furnace is a type of industrial oven designed to heat treat a ferrous metal product and increase its toughness. In metallurgical terms, the toughness of an alloy describes its capacity for elastic deformation and energy absorption before the material fractures.A tempering oven or furnace is used extensively during the tempering process to increase the strength of iron-based alloys like cast iron and steel. Metals are placed in a tempering oven then heated to a specific temperature in order to remove unwanted or excess hardness.
