DEF

A form of interrupted quenching in which the steel is quenched rapidly from its hardening temperature to about 450°F, held at 450°F until the temperature is uniform, then cooled in air to room temperature. Actual hardening does not occur until the air cooling starts and is accomplished with a minimum temperature differential.

OBS

Martempering is indicated for low to medium alloy steels when distortion may be a problem.
