Hardening and Tempering of Steel Strip(Click on thumbnail to enlarge)  Hardening and Tempering of Steel Strip Simply put, Hardening & Tempering (H&T) is the process of transforming cold-rolled steel into high-strength spring steel through a series of heat-treating operations. These operations are performed at Wickeder Steel Company in state-of-the-art, continuous heat-treating furnaces manufactured by EBNER of Linz, Austria - the universally acknowledged world-wide leading manufacturer of such facilities. The design and execution of these furnaces enables WSC to H&T a range of high-carbon and alloyed strip grades to exacting tolerances with respect to both geometrical and mechanical properties. The technology also allows a range of material microstructures from a fully bainitic structure through a fully martensitic structure. The available mechanical properties - hardness and tensile strength - are detailed in the adjacent table. The tight-tolerance geometrical properties - flatness and camber for example - are detailed in the "products" link. Click below to download
