... for Metallurgy and Heat Treatment Hardening and Tempering, Brazing Hardening is a metallurgical process used to increase the hardness of materials. Hardening of steels involves a controlled heating to austenitizing temperature with subsequent quenching and tempering – with the aim to improve strength and ductility properties of the material by influencing the microstructure. Brazing is a metal joining process where two different metal parts are joined together in a furnace by melting a filler metal in a small gap between the parts. Vacuum brazing offers significant advantages as it is extremely...
