| 释义 | tempering The process of increasing the toughness of an alloy, such as steel, by heating it to a predetermined temperature, maintaining it at this temperature for a predetermined time, and cooling it to room temperature at a predetermined rate.

For this reason steel is quenched rapidly by dipping into cold water |
