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.
