Quenching and Tempering

The great benefit of martempering is that components do not suffer from size alteration and distortion. 

The austenitised components are quenched to a temperature close to the martensite starting point to ensure temperature equalisation between surface and core. This allow a martensitic formation being as uniform as possible during further cooling. Furthermore, for austempering the AS salts are the best choice as these assure the best attainable toughness.
