Acier contenant suffisamment d'éléments alliés pour tremper par simple refroidissement à l'air, à partir d'une température supérieure à sa température critique de transformation. 4, record 1, French, - acier%20autotrempant
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La trempe martensitique peut se faire par refroidissement à l'eau en partant d'une température généralement moins élevée (aciers trempants ordinaires), ou souvent à l'huile, ce qui diminue les accidents de trempe; mieux encore, si les éléments alliés sont en proportion suffisante, la trempe s'effectue par refroidissement à l'air (aciers autotrempants). 5, record 1, French, - acier%20autotrempant
