Why tempering ?<\/h2>\n

chains achieve their physical properties only after a thermal quenching and tempering process has been carried out. In the case of a chain, the arc must be hard on the inside to reduce wear. At the same time, the leg area must have a certain crack toughness and a brittle fracture must be avoided.<\/p>\n

Procedural steps<\/h2>\n

In order to achieve appropriate properties here, two or three process steps are required for continuous quenching and tempering. The following process steps must be performed:<\/p>\n
