A low temperature (150ºC to 650ºC) heat treatment intended to remove the stresses and brittleness caused by quenching and to develop the required mechanical properties.
Tempering high carbon, high alloy steels at temperatures about 550ºC will transform any retained austenite in their structure and must generally be followed by a second temper.
